TIME FOR THOMAS TO RECUSE HIMSELF . . . AGAIN
SCOTUS has agreed to fast-track the case that will decide if Trump has immunity from prosecution for alleged crimes he committed while president. Senate Republicans are pressuring Clarence Thomas to recuse himself as his wife was a strong supporter of the Big Lie about the 2020 election. In October, Thomas recused himself from the case involving the appeal by ex-Trump lawyer John Eastman in a case stemming from the House's probe into the Capitol riot. Let’s hope he will do this once again. In the meantime, let’s put pressure everywhere we can to urge him to recuse himself. We can call in our support to our MoCs and we can contact the Supreme Court as well. We can also tag SCOTUS and/or Thomas in a statement on our social media.
APPOINT STRONG REFORMERS TO USPS BOARD
The one-year term extension for Trump appointees Donald Moak and William Zollars ended on December 8th. Now it’s time for President Biden to appoint strong, diverse, and reform-oriented candidates to replace them. The Save the Post Office Coalition advocates for the nomination of former Representative Brenda Lawrence and policy expert Sarah Anderson to the USPS Board of Governors, citing their critical perspectives and expertise as crucial during this challenging period for the postal service. Rep. Brenda Lawrence, with 30 years of USPS employment and congressional service, staunchly defended against privatization attempts and holds dual membership in the American Postal Workers Union and the National Association of Letter Carriers. Sarah Anderson, a policy expert from a family of letter carriers, has extensively written on USPS and economic issues. We need a robust, diverse, and reform-oriented Board of Governors to uphold the USPS's true mission and public service goals. Let’s get forward looking leaders exploring opportunities like postal banking for new revenue, instead of narrowly focusing on service cuts and price hikes. We can sign here to tell President Biden to appoint Rep. Brenda Lawrence and Sarah Anderson to the USPS Board of Governors.
KEEP GUN VIOLENCE REFORM IN THE CONVERSATION BY CIRCULATING “THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS” VIDEO
Mothers for Democracy has released a powerful one-minute video showing the senselessness of responding to gun violence. In the video, a mother begs for help saving her drowning daughter, and everyone around responds by praying, but no one jumps into the pool to save her. Let’s circulate this video widely on our networks to raise awareness of our government’s total failure in attempting to curb gun violence. QUICKLY CHECK, UPDATE OR REGISTER TO VOTE
