Partner Action: Stop the Politicization of the DOJ
Under Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, and deputies Todd Blanche, Dan Bongino, and Emil Bove, the DOJ has prioritized protecting Trump and allies over justice for Americans. It has dropped charges against Eric Adams and Trump’s co-defendants in the classified documents case.
Bondi dismissed several DOJ prosecutors, including Jan. 6 investigators and those working on Trump’s cases, while opening probes into rivals like James Comey and John Brennan. She also discredited whistleblowers and fired prosecutors involved in Jeffrey Epstein’s case.
Instead of upholding law and ensuring national safety, the DOJ appears weaponized for political revenge and protection of the wealthy.
👉 Congress must hold these officials accountable and ensure the department serves the American people.

Partner Action: Protect Vulnerable Immigrant Youth Act
An arbitrary annual cap on green cards for immigrant children who have survived parental abuse, abandonment and neglect, and who have already been approved to seek the permanent protection they desperately need, is placing them at risk of deportation, labor exploitation, and other harms. The Protect Vulnerable Immigrant Youth Act would allow these immigrant children, who have already been approved for Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS), access to the permanent protection that they need.
By eliminating the SIJS green card cap, the Protect Vulnerable Immigrant Youth Act enables children to seek green cards as soon as they are granted SIJS, helping deliver security and permanency to these young survivors that Congress intended and that all children deserve.
👉 Please urge your Senators and Representative to co-sponsor this important bill!
