Partner Action: Protect Affordable Health Care Act Tax Credits
Millions of Americans could lose their health insurance if Congress lets Affordable Care Act tax credits expire at the end of this year. Without action, premiums are expected to spike dramatically and more than 4 million people could lose coverage over the next decade.
The U.S. Senate is voting this Thursday, December 11 on two proposals: a clean extension of the ACA tax credits and a version that adds new restrictions on abortion and gender-affirming care. This vote will determine whether health care stays affordable for millions of families.
👉 Call or email your U.S. Senators today and urge them to pass a clean extension of the ACA premium tax credits.
Contact Senator Durbin at 312-353-4952 or at other numbers listed here
Contact Senator Duckworth at 312-886-3506 or at other numbers listed here
Script: Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from Chicago. I’m calling to ask [REP NAME] to support a clean extension of the ACA premium tax credits, and oppose any bill that includes abortion or gender affirming care restrictions. Congress must act now to protect affordable health care before costs skyrocket and financially devastate millions of Americans. [OPTIONAL: Include a personal story of your experience with the ACA.]

Partner Action: Stop Trump’s Illegal Boat Strikes
The Trump administration has carried out more than 20 lethal strikes on civilian boats near Venezuela since September — killing nearly 90 people in clear violation of U.S. and international law. Investigations show many of the victims were fishermen providing for their families, not the threats the administration claims.
Officials are hiding behind a secret legal memo they refuse to release, while insisting these killings are lawful and that those involved should be immune from prosecution. This is an abuse of power — and it’s criminal. Congress must step in immediately.
👉 Tell your U.S. House member and Senators to hold urgent public hearings and stop these illegal strikes. Demand full transparency, including release of the secret legal opinion and unedited strike footage.
