OPPOSE EMIL BOVE’S ELEVATION TO FEDERAL APPEALS COURT
The Senate has taken up Trump’s nomination of Emil Bove, his former personal attorney, to become a federal appeals judge on the Third Circuit, with a Judiciary Committee vote set for July 17th. This comes as we’ve learned of more corroborating evidence that Bove openly backed defying court orders to speed up the deportation machine. And somehow that’s just the beginning of why Bove is unfit:
Bove ordered the dismissal of corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams. The judge who dismissed the case did so “with prejudice” to free Adams from what the judge described as a “bargain” with the Trump administration—that, in exchange for dismissal of the charges against him, Adams would participate in aggressive immigration enforcement in New York City.
Bove ordered the firing of some two dozen prosecutors involved in the Jan. 6 criminal cases.
Bove ordered the firing of FBI agents who had worked on the Jan. 6 cases.
Let’s make it clear to our senators they need to keep Bove from gaining more power without accountability. We can find scripts and language here or send this Resistbot message by texting SIGN PECZAF to 50409.
OUR “GOOD TROUBLE” SIGNS CAN REGISTER VOTERS
Representative John Lewis said: “my dear friends, your vote is precious, almost sacred. It is the most powerful nonviolent tool we have to create a more perfect union.” As we prepare to attend a “Good Trouble Lives On” rally on July 17 to honor and forward John Lewis’s legacy (find an event near us), let’s put our protest signs to good use. Let’s add this register-to-vote QR code to our signs.
For inspiration, here’s one made by a Rogan’s List contributor:
GET FREE ORGANIZER TRAINING FROM ACTIVATE AMERICA
By popular demand, Activate America is hosting another Organizer 101 training on WEDNESDAY at 8PM ET. This is a free, interactive 90-minute session designed for people who are new to activism or ready to grow their skills. We can learn the difference between mobilizing and organizing, how to have powerful one-on-one conversations, and how to build our own network of activists. If we’ve already called, marched, and protested this training can be our next step.
Space is limited, but there is still time to sign up for Organizer 101 training here and to invite others ready to level up for democracy here.
