WE DEMAND A SPENDING BILL THAT REPRESENTS OUR VALUES

A budget represents priorities and values.  We demand that the end of the year spending bill represent our values.

We value our neighbors and do not want ANY money going to a wall or additional money for border patrol.

We value women and want to see the Violence Against Women’s Act reauthorized.

We value the rule of law and want to see Mueller’s investigation protected.

We value human rights and want to see the United States’ unconstitutional involvement in the Saudi-led war in Yemen end.

And when the new Congress starts there are so many more values we will demand action on: human rights, healthcare, voting rights, women’s rights, black lives matter, LGTBQ rights, immigrants, those with disabilities, survivors, gun violence prevention, diversity, and truth.

We ask Congress to do the right thing and stand up for our values.

ACTION ONE: GO TO #RESISTTRUMPTUESDAY TO DEMAND #FAMILIESBELONGTOGETHER

Join us at #ResistTrumpTuesday on Tuesday, December 11, at 11:30 in the courtyard of Senator Wyden’s office 911 NE 11th Ave, Portland, OR 97232. We will meet with Senator Wyden’s staff and demand that he do all he can to pass a spending bill that has:

  • NO money for the wall
  • NO additional funds for border patrol agents
  • Special Counsel Independence and Integrity Act (S.2644) to protect Mueller’s investigation
  • Full Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women’s Act (like H.R. 6545)
  • Yemen War Powers Resolution J.Res.54/H.Con.Res.138 to end the US involvement in the Yemen War
ACTION TWO: CALL YOUR SENATORS
