ACTIONS YOU CAN TAKE

Trump’s war with Iran is a war of choice and it has already caused massive death and destruction. It is illegal and it must stop.

1. Call your senators, call your representative, and email them all: They must stop Trump's war!

2. Tell Congress: Halt the ICE terror machine.

Stop ICE Purchase of Detention Centers

ReSisters, our colleagues in the CT resistance, are leading a call to action to prevent warehouses from being built in CT. Their article with detailed information on the subject with a script that you can use to email or call to your legislator is available here.

Interested in Youth Activism?

We know younger folks' concerns differ from ours. We are pulling together interested people to brainstorm and develop action items to engage our younger folks in civic and social action. If interested, please complete the survey here by March 6. And even if you can only give one hour, we would appreciate your input. Thanks. TACT members Jen and Kathy
