  • A time sensitive action item for the environment from Jim Hines

    Greetings Activists:

      HR 1897 is ground zero for destroying the federal endangered species act.

     My sources at the U.S. Dept of the Interior, specifically the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service who worked with congressman Westerman to write the bill tell me that a full U.S. House vote on HR 1897 will come on April 14,15 or 16. The legislative office at the U.S. Dept of the Interior is already lobbying House members in support of HR 1897 and will do a full court push starting on April 13th.      

     It is so important that as many people as we can get to contact as many members of the House (both republican and democrat) as we can and urge a NO vote on HR 1897. 

    Here is a list of current House members:

    No time to waste, folks needs to start calling, texting or emailing ASAP.

    for wildlife,

    Jim

  • May Day National General Strike

    MAY DAY / May 1st 2026

NO WORK, NO SCHOOL, NO SHOPPING
BEGIN PLANS FOR A GENERAL STRIKE

Trump is going to try to take control of the November elections. Only people power can stop him. Join Indivisible and May Day Strong and start building capacity for a General Strike this fall!

NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION
STOP THE BILLIONAIRE AGENDA
WE ARE THE MANY. THEY ARE THE FEW.

    There’s been a lot of criticism claiming that No Kings and other recent
    protests are ineffective or symbolic at best. But that misses the bigger
    picture. Protests are not isolated events—they’re catalysts. They build
    networks, shift public narratives, and lay the groundwork for sustained
    action.

    Indivisible is already turning that energy into something concrete.
    Following No Kings, they’re organizing a national strike beginning on
    May Day, with the explicit goal of building momentum through November.
    This isn’t about a single day of demonstration—it’s about sustained
    pressure and coordinated action to push back against any attempts at
    election interference by this administration.

    Change doesn’t happen overnight, and it doesn’t happen without visible,
    collective resistance. Protests are often the first step in a longer
    strategy—and that strategy is already underway.
