Partner Action: Oppose Cryptocurrency GENIUS Act - VOTE TODAY!
On June 12, 2025, the Senate voted 67-27 to proceed on S. 1582, the GENIUS Act, with final passage expected TODAY, June 17th. This bill aims to regulate payment stablecoins but falls short on safeguards and risks endangering our banking system. It would require banks to pay stablecoin claims before other depositors during market crashes, potentially using traditional funds to cover crypto losses.
Critics, including Senator Hawley, warn it favors Big Tech’s creation of digital currencies and could allow private companies like Trump’s to exploit the system. Experts compare its risks to the 2008 housing crisis.
👉 Contact your representatives and oppose this dangerous bill that threatens banking stability.

Script: Hello, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [CITY, ZIP]. I’m calling to ask [SEN NAME] to vote against S. 1582, the GENIUS Act. This bill will prioritize the solvency of crypto investors over traditional bank customers and put our entire banking system at risk of collapse. It also does nothing to stop the Trump family’s corrupt use of crypto to accept dark money bribes.

Partner Action: Phone Bank to Save Medicare Wednesday-Friday
Join an upcoming phonebank where we’ll be calling voters in Republican districts to ask them to help us oppose the Trump Tax Scam—a reckless GOP tax plan that prioritizes billionaires like Elon Musk while selling out working families.
Republicans in Congress are trying to ram this through using budget reconciliation, bypassing bipartisan support to give trillions in tax breaks to the ultra-wealthy. Their plan? Slash Medicaid, SNAP, and early education programs—all so billionaires can hoard more wealth while everyday Americans pay more.
Let’s stand up for economic justice. Let’s stop this scam in its tracks.
👉 Sign up for an upcoming phone bank!
