Two actions for today.
The first is to contact our Members of Congress in Washington, D.C. to take action regarding the Department of Defense war plans leaked over the Signal messaging app by Trump appointees. The second relates to researchers at the Harvard University Chan School of Medicine stopping new pediatric brain cancer research because of instability at the National Institute of Health (NIH).
(1.) Urge Congress to Investigate War Plan Leak
Trump appointees Hegseth, Miller, and others planned a war with Yemen on a chat app. The app is insecure and dangerous, and they accidentally shared it with the press. They are a danger to U.S. security. Urge Congress to investigate.

(2.) Contact our Members of Congress about NIH Treatment Interference
Let’s call/email our Members of Congress and let them know that new, experimental treatments are being halted due to chaos at the NIH. Congress mandated the funding, and Trump is making sure that the research is not done. You can reach our Members of Congress here: https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials.

(1.) Library Services
Trump is attempting to dismantle the only federal agency dedicated to funding library services, the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). This agency is a lifeline for students, families, veterans, businesses, job seekers, individuals with disabilities, and seniors. Libraries provide free, non-partisan services that benefit everyone. (My family/business/I) value the library because _____ . Eliminating IMLS would have severe and lasting consequences for access to essential information and community resources. I strongly oppose this action and urge Congress to reject the executive order and maintain IMLS funding at its current level in fiscal year 2026.
(2.) Department of Education
I am (calling/writing) to demand immediate action to block Donald Trump’s executive order dismantling the Department of Education. This order puts billions in school funding, special education programs, and student loan assistance at risk. This is important to (me/my family/my workplace) because _____. I urge you to use every tool available - public statements, floor speeches, media interviews - to expose Trump’s plan and hold Republicans accountable for enabling it. This is an emergency, and I expect you to fight back with full force.
(3.) Rule of Law
I am (callling/writing) to demand that (Senator/Representative __) stop allowing the Trump administration to defy the Constitution. Congress needs to do its job as a co-equal branch of government to resist Trump’s blatant disregard for the rule of law. I request that you publicly condemn and demand oversight hearings to investigate the administration’s open defiance of federal court orders. As your constituent, I expect you to stand up for the Constitution and the balance of power in the United States.
