I clicked on the link for messaging Congress about the abducted Ukranian children, and got this message, "Too many requests." Many of us in the U.S. are raising our voices. That's good news.

Carol, I got the same message.

For what it's worth - this happened to me as well when I clicked the link on my phone. But, it worked when I clicked on the link from my laptop.

I am concerned about requiring the Epstein survivors to testify under oath in Congress via subpoena and subject to unbridled cross examination by nasty Republicans. This should play out in court. Congress should definitely bring in people to investigate, including Melania Trump. Those being investigated should be subpoenaed, not the victims

Survivors stated they didn't want to nor should have to be victimized, again by testifying under oath to Congress. Others like Melania should have to. Bondi absolutely should . If not brought up on contempt charges, the Democrats might have to have her served again but not as Atty. General, just as a citizen. It'll take more time but then she will not have a choice but to testify

Jess, thank you so much for all you do! I look forward to your newsletters and use your scripts to call my (Trump-loving) repub elected officials every day. Just to let you know, when I clicked the link to go tell congress to let the waiver expire, it just took me to a blank page with "Too Many Requests" at the top. Not sure if other people will have that problem too.

Nelli, I got the same message.

Me too. I'll try again later

If possible, try on a laptop. Matt C. above said the same thing happened to him but it worked using his laptop.

Thanks again for the actionable steps, Jess. We are in this together.

I don’t believe for a second that DJT did not know that Melania was going to give a press conference. I don’t think there’s much she does without him knowing.

WonderWoman's avatar

Same here. She's never in DC unless he tells her to come to do something per their prenuptial agreement. Of course he knew. She didn't write that script either.

I was concerned that the "Vote Forward" "PA New Voter Campaign" pilot project target group might include voters who are not voting Democratic. I asked their help desk about this and got this response: "The PA New Voter Guide is part of our Social Campaigns. For these types of campaigns, which align with our mission of helping to encourage and register voters from underrepresented demographics, we cannot target lists based on party affiliations or leanings, and to retain our status with the IRS, we're prevented from even considering this information. So we know we're writing to voters that our list vendor has identified as underrepresented in our electorate, including people of color and young people, but we cannot know their political leanings." This makes me question the value of sending these letters--are we helping a good number of voters who will not be voting for Democrats to vote? In the current environment, I would not want to help such voters to vote. I'd be interested in how others interpret this response from them, but I've decided not to write these letters.

I did 5 letters to VA with Vote Forward & organized my group to do 500 postcards via Postcards to Swing States🗽 Thanks for your important work sharing actions with volunteers!

Jessica Craven, I am not following your script on "asking the Epstein survivors to come and testify at a Congressional hearing." I've read they're against doing that.

Thanks, love your site,

Trump and his allies are corrupted.

Jess, when I attended our protest rally yesterday on the 11th, 7 young MAGA guys surrounded one of my female friends Why? Because she was wearing Pride garb. This friend provides all of us with great music to dance to. When she protests, she has a bubble gun that people just love. Anyway, it was unnerving to have her surrounded but you know what she did? She blew bubbles in their faces and they backed off! She didn’t have to say anything. But then, our congressman, Mark DeSaulnier, showed up and spoke to these mislead youth. They all shook hands with him and they left. He saved the day!

I have just seen Trump’s statement that he is going to block the Strait of Hormuz. I have been concerned for quite some quite about his mental state, but for some reason this statement has me more concerned than ever about how irrational he is.

I feel like sobbing. I am so concerned about what Trump might do.

We need a mass appeal to Congress and the media to let them know we need to stop focusing on Trump. Congress has to be made aware that we are holding them responsible for letting this happen. They are not abiding by the oath they took to uphold the Constitution and PROTECT THE COUNTRY. I feel they are the only ones who might be able to do something. That is why I think that has to be our main focus.
