The U.S. government unlawfully deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia — a legally protected Maryland resident — to a Salvadoran prison notorious for gang violence and human rights abuses. A federal judge called the deportation “wholly lawless” and ordered Garcia’s return, but the administration has escalated the case to the Supreme Court. Urge Congress to act now
Call on Congress to assert its role as a co-equal branch of government by demanding transparency and oversight before the Insurrection Act is invoked. This is a critical moment to defend civil rights and democratic checks.
Send a message to Congress calling for an end to deportations to CECOT prison and a defense of constitutional rights. This letter urges action to uphold due process, human dignity, and international law.
The right to vote is the cornerstone of our democracy—and it's under threat. A recent executive order and the SAVE Act both rely on debunked claims to justify new barriers to voter registration. Urge your elected officials to defend the Constitution and protect every American’s access to the ballot.
