- There have
been too many examples of the Trump administration’s unfamiliarity with
history, or their denial of the facts, but yesterday’s statements by Press
Secretary Spicer about Hitler not using gas on his own people and his
reference to “Holocaust Centers” was blatant ignorance. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/04/spicer-nazis-chemical-weapons/522708/
It seems that we should help Spicer learn a few facts. During this Passover season that
started yesterday and runs through April 18, let’s send him postcards with
facts about the Holocaust. Send
them to: Sean Spicer, White House,
1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC 20500
- Trump
associates’ Russian connections continue to mount and be confirmed. http://thehill.com/policy/cybersecurity/328399-report-fbi-granted-fisa-warrant-to-surveil-ex-trump-aide-carter-page
Let’s keep letting our legislators know that we want an independent
investigation. Too many insiders
are involved.
- Seniors and
other special populations could face some real difficulties if Sen. Ryan
gets his way on tax reform. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/04/10/the-seniors-who-could-be-in-for-a-rude-awakening-if-paul-ryan-gets-his-way-on-taxes/?utm_term=.399345497d05
Let’s reach out to our members of Congress reminding them to watch out for
the interests of those among us who on the fringes.

Maribel
Trujillo-Diaz, a mother of four who fled Mexico and had legal papers to remain
here while her asylum case is pending was detained by ICE and is scheduled for
deportation. More details here: http://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2017/04/10/fairfield-mom-appears-headed-toward-deportation/100286850/ Let’s join in with many others who are
calling Assistant ICE Director Mark Hamilton 313-568-6037 or ICE Field Director Adducci at 313-568-6036 Here is a script we can use: "Hi, my name is [name], and I'm calling in support of
Maribel Trujillo-Diaz. She has a pending asylum case, has no criminal record in
the U.S., has a US work permit, and is caring for her four children, one of
whom suffers from seizures. Deporting her will do nothing to make our country
safer, but it will cause irreparable damage to her and her family. Please
suspend her deportation, and stop tearing families apart."
- From one of
our own: Please join us in biggest

- An Indivisible Group, Fired Up LA, has created a Thunderclap, which we can join in on that also focuses on Trump's tax returns: https://www.thunderclap.it/projects/55397-demand-trump-s-tax-returns
Other Actions
- This Saturday, April 15th hundreds of thousands of activists will march in over 140 cities across the nation. They will demand that Trump release his tax returns and protest against an unfair tax system that allows and encourages the wealthy and corporations to avoid paying their fair share. Tax reform is going to be the next big item on Trump's agenda and we need to make sure everyone stays involved and informed in this important issue. We all need to sign up on taxmarch.org and find our local march, sign up as volunteers, and help spread the word! If we cannot attend a march, the organizers of the Tax March have provided us with a Digital Supporter Toolkit so that we can still participate!

- If we are looking for opportunities to thank those who are working on our behalf, we can sign up for Postcards From Kate. We can choose to be updated daily (M-F) or weekly and we will be emailed the “names and mailing addresses of at least one person deserving of our wholehearted thanks. For taking an action which reinforces or supports our progressive values. We believe in equal rights, access to healthcare, just and fair governance, and freedom. We don't think any party owns American values. And we believe kindness is the best policy.” https://www.postcardsfromkate.org/
- If we are federal employees, here is a guide to activism resources just for us: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lwopg6_tc_oIkA8QZqF_HqoV6a2UFtk3DzAa9RneSI0/edit
- It started with a tweet: “A cool thing you can do today is try to find out which of
your local schools have kids with overdue lunch accounts and pay them
off.” http://www.nola.com/education/index.ssf/2017/01/donors_come_forward_to_erase_s.html
