Colorado Capitol caucuses would have to disclose their donors, spending under Democratic unity bill The proposal, backed by top members of the Opportunity Caucus, comes after the group faced criticism for not disclosing who paid for their Vail retreat with lobbyists last year

"Colorado state lawmakers would have to report who is donating to their caucuses and how they are spending that money under a bill brought in the wake of a dark money-funded retreat attended by a group of Democrats."

Stop the save act The save act has passed the house, we must let our senators know to not support a voter suppression bill. Also, research local CD-5 Candidates. Jeff Crank voted yes on the save act. We must find a candidate who will vote no.

The SAVE act recently just passed the house with 218 votes, the bare minimum.

Call senator Hickenlooper and Bennet to remind them of why this act is bad.

UNPLUG THE MACHINE: DON'T SHOP BLACK FRIDAY WE AIN'T BUNING IT TAKE ACTION bit.ly/WeAintBuyinglt 50501

DO NOTHING. DON'T SHOP AT TARGET, AMAZON, OR HOME DEPOT Corporations like Target, Home Depot, Amazon continue to profit from policies that harm working families, immigrants, and communities of color. This holiday season — when 20% of annual retail sales happen — we're using our collective power to speak the only language corporations understand: our wallets. TAKE ACTION bit.ly/WeAintBuyinglt

WHEN FIGHTING FASCISM, WE GOTTA PULL EVERY LEVER MONEY IS A BIG FREAKING LEVER Money talks. You've heard it before. It's one of those cliches that just so happens to be true. The economic pillars of power are a critical support for the vast powerful machine we're up against. Withdrawing your dollars helps starve the machine. TAKE ACTION bit.ly/WeAintBuyinglt

FROM NOV. 27TH - DEC. 1ST WE'RE SENDING A CLEAR MESSAGE TO CORPORATE COLLABORATORS We simply AIN'T BUYING IT. We're going after Target for caving to the craven Trump administration on DEI. Home Depot for allowing & colluding with ICE. Amazon for funding this administration. There's no shortage of ways YOU can plug into this effort. TAKE ACTION bit.ly/WeAintBuyinglt

Black Friday and Cyber Monday make up 20% of corporate retailers' annual sales. What better way to send a message to companies like Amazon, Target, and Home Depot, who don’t care about the very people lining their pockets, than to say, We Ain’t Buying It!

WeAintBuyingIt.com

(above images of the Target, Amazon, and Home Depot logos that have been crossed out) We Ain't Buying It Target Companies This action is taking direct aim at Target, for caving to this administration's biased attacks on DEl; Home Depot, for allowing and colluding with ICE to kidnap our neighbors on their properties; and Amazon, for funding this administration to secure their own corporate tax cuts.

From Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday, we’re saying “We Ain’t Buying It” and asking Americans to hit pause on buying from corporations that enable Trump’s fascist agenda: weaintbuyingit.com/?utm_source=ind_wabi

Don't forget to join us this coming Monday for the Jeff crank empty chair town hall! If you have any extra non perishables, feel free to donate them there!

Join us on November 17th for an empty chair town hall! RSVP on mobilize.us/s/fSb72e

Have you contacted your Democratic senators yet?

Demand that your Democratic senators call on Chuck Schumer to step aside as Minority Leader. We need new leadership that will actually fight for us.

(next to images of Adelita Grijalva and House Democrats demanding that Grijalva is sworn in) SWEAR IN GRIJALVA NOW!

It’s been over a month since Adelita Grijalva was elected to the House, but Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in — because Grijalva would be the decisive 218th signature to force a vote on releasing the Epstein Files. Take action with our social toolkit: app.sosha.ai/toolkit/adel...

ABC News released before-and-after satellite images of the White House demolition.

TONIGHT: Let’s talk about what’s next. Join movement leaders and activists to discuss how each of us can channel the incredible energy of No Kings Day into the organizing power it will take to win: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

3 DAYS until we take to America the Beautiful Park and say NO KINGS!

“There are only three good kings in America: Gayle, Stephen, and Burger.” #NoKings

(below the No Kings logo) WHY WE WEAR YELLOW Millions of people coming together in movement against this regime is our greatest hope for our freedoms, our families and our futures. For months, people online and on our streets have called for a simple, shared way to show that unity. Something anyone, anywhere, could show and share with others. Throughout history, people who have come together in protest against authoritarian regimes have utilized a color that is easy to see among a sea of thousands. YELLOW IS A BRIGHT, UNMISTAKABLE REMINDER THAT MILLIONS OF US STAND TOGETHER IN THE BELIEF THAT AMERICA BELONGS TO ITS PEOPLE, NOT TO KINGS.

(around the No Kings logo) WHY WE WEAR YELLOW HISTORICAL CONTEXT HONG KONG: protesters carried yellow umbrellas as acts of protest, turning an everyday object into a vivid icon of peaceful resistance against violence and suppression. ASIA: yellow ribbons became emblems of hope, accountability, and systemic reform: after South Korea’s Sewol ferry tragedy, yellow ribbons evolved from memorial tokens into protest symbols demanding government transparency and justice. EASTERN UKRAINE: the "Yellow Ribbon" movement reclaimed the color as a signal of resistance and national self-determination amid invasion. BY CHOOSING YELLOW, WE ALIGN OURSELVES WITH THIS HISTORICAL CONTEXT: IT IS A VISIBLE, OPTIMISTIC BANNER THAT CARRIES THE WEIGHT OF DEMOCRATIC STRUGGLE, NONVIOLENT DISSENT, AND A REMINDER THAT POWER MUST STEM FROM THE PEOPLE, NOT FROM CROWNS.

(around the No Kings logo) WHY WE WEAR YELLOW THE ASK TO WEAR YELLOW On October 18, millions of us will join our neighbors at No Kings rallies to stand united against the authoritarian regime in the White House. Our power is in our unity, and our unity will be seen in yellow. For generations, people around the world have used color to show collective strength in the face of oppression. Our movement is no different. Yellow is our shared signal, bright, bold, and impossible to ignore, a reminder that America's power belongs to our people, not to kings. WHEN YOU WEAR YELLOW, YOU JOIN A MOVEMENT THAT STRETCHES FROM CITY BLOCKS TO RURAL TOWN SQUARES, A MOVEMENT ROOTED IN HOPE, COURAGE, AND THE BELIEF THAT AMERICA IS WORTH FIGHTING FOR.
