32] – On Tues., June 3 through Fri., June 6 from 11:45 AM to 1 PM ET or 5 to 7:30 PM,  phone bank with the AFL-CIO union members to reclaim its power. Ask every union member to reach out to another potential union member and invite them to join or rejoin their union, paying directly to their organization.  Through unlawful national security exclusions, nearly all members of federal unions have been denied their union rights under law and contract. As part of that attack, federal agencies have dropped nearly all members from payroll deduction, meaning they need to sign up again as members to stay in the fight.  Please select two phone banking shifts for each week to help support federal employees taking control of their lives.

33] – Jewish Voice for Peace is doing a Power Half-Hour for Gaza: Channel grief & outrage into action to stop a genocide.  A year into the genocide in Gaza, we are overwhelmed with sorrow and rage. There are no words to describe the devastating pain of the past year in which the Israeli military has killed over 44,000 Palestinians in Gaza, including more than 17,000 children. The International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court have both declared that Israel must stop the genocidal acts being committed on the Palestinian people. And the U.S. government is actively supporting the Israeli military as it wreaks devastation on the over 2 million Palestinians in Gaza. JVP continues to come together as a political community in its daily half-hour to take action. Join in and take collective action to demand an arms embargo to Israel, immediate end to the genocide, a lasting ceasefire and an end to Israeli siege, apartheid, occupation, and oppression of Palestinians and Lebanon. All are welcome. All are needed. Get involved at 3 PM ET on Tues., June 3, Wed., June 4, Thurs., Tues., June 5 and Mon., June 9.

34] – Working Families Party [reply@workingfamilies.org] on Tues., June 3 at 6 PM ET wants you to attend a virtual town hall: Hold Senator Alsobrooks Accountable for Selling Out to Big Crypto.  Senator Alsobrooks just voted to end the filibuster on the Republican-led GENIUS Act, giving away all the leverage Democrats had to stop this horrible bill! This bill hands power and profits to Trump Administration officials and crypto-industry insiders, while leaving everyday Marylanders exposed to financial chaos. She promised she wouldn’t stand by while Trump and his cronies enriched themselves at our expense. She promised to protect consumers and working families from financial exploitation. But now? She’s broken that promise. This emergency virtual town hall will be a place to demand answers, build pressure, and send a message: Maryland voters won’t be sold out to crypto billionaires. ✊ Co-sponsored by: Our Revolution, Progressive Maryland, Indivisible Maryland and Economic Action Maryland. RSVP Here for Zoom link: https://act.ourrevolution.com/signup/TownHall_Hold_Senator_Alsobrooks_Accountable/
