Action 1: Confirm All Biden Nominees
With Democrats still holding the Senate majority until the year’s end, we have a crucial opportunity to influence the confirmation of President Biden’s nominees. There are over 30 federal judgeships awaiting a vote, along with key positions in regulatory agencies like the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). Renominating pro-worker leaders like Lauren McFerran could help protect workers’ rights during challenging times, while other nominees are vital for oversight in our financial systems—especially with growing concerns around cryptocurrency.
Now is the time to make your voice heard! Contact your senators and express the importance of voting on these nominations. Let’s ensure that the Senate uses its power to advocate for workers’ rights and financial accountability. Your engagement can make a difference as we navigate the challenges ahead!

Action 1: Release the Gaetz Report
Trump recently nominated Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) to serve as his attorney general. Meanwhile, the House Ethics Committee has completed a bipartisan investigation into Gaetz’s alleged misconduct—including allegations of sexual misconduct, drug use, and improper interactions with lobbyists—yet the findings remain undisclosed. Gaetz resigned from his congressional seat in a blatant attempt to prevent the report from being released.
The Ethics Committee still has jurisdiction over former members. They could vote to release the report immediately. Transparency and accountability are crucial to maintaining public trust in our government, especially when it concerns officials in positions of power.
We’re calling on all members of the House to demand that the Ethics Committee vote to release the Gaetz report without delay. Reps. Casten, Quigley, Ramirez, Schneider, Sorensen, Krishnamoorthi, Budziniski, Schakowsky, Jackson, and Foster already have called for the release of the report.
Use this tool to send a quick email to your representative with a thank you if they already support the release, or urge them to call on the House Ethics Committee to vote for the release of the report immediately.
