The Law of War
I am not a law of war expert.
Joyce Vance: "Weโre talking about first principles โ why the rule of law exists, why it restrains all of us (especially the powerful), and why 'doing whatever feels good in the moment' has never been a substitute for constitutional order." - The Law of War open.substack.com/pub/joycevan... #Iran

![Daily Action Call, Wednesday, February 25th
Senators
Hello my name is____, from [City, State]
First, I want the Senator to vote no on any Republican-introduced voter suppression bill, such as the SAVE Act, the MEGA Act, or the SAVE America Act.
[If GOP add:] The Heritage Foundation itself found that non-citizen voting is vanishingly rare. We know these bills arenโt about that at allโtheyโre about Republicansโ fear of losing the midterms. I have a suggestion: instead of trying to suppress the vote maybe just stop doing things voters hate.
Next, we want the money we paid in illegal tariffs to be returnedโnot just to individual consumers, but to the many small businesses who have been harmed by Trumpโs disastrous policy. I know thereโs a bill to do this in the works in the House, is there anything coming in the Senate? If not, why? Where will that money go? We know that 90% of the tariffs were paid by consumers. We want it back!
STATE LEVEL ACTIONS
Oppose HB 43 (SCHOOL PRAYER BILL)
Call members of House Ed. Policy Committee to oppose HB 43- SCHOOL PRAYER BILL.
HB43 (Ingram) On the Committee agenda for TODAY February 25! CALL THIS MORNING!!!
Talking points
HB14 could finally give Alabamians a way to put issues on the ballot for a statewide vote.
Everyday Alabamians may finally have a tool in their toolbox to challenge unpopular laws. Ideally, petitions could be generated by regular Alabamians, then signed by enough people to put the proposed law directly on the ballot for a vote. HB14 could potentially be a game changer for Alabama.
CALL the following members of CCE Committee to ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ ๐๐๐๐, and get it out of committee and to the whole house for a vote.

![Daily Action Call, Friday, February 20th/ WHERE/WHEN ARE THE TOWN HALLS, WE HAVE URGENT CONCERNS
Background
Candidates are crowd sourcing funding for their campaigns and prepping for Primaries in there state. This means corporations (who decide to be involved) pouring money into campaigns via PACs and Super PACs.
Why does this matter?
Most recently, Anthropic, who owns widely-used AI Claude, has pours x into a PAC by the name of Jobs and Democracy PAC to endorse candidates that are favorable towards state regulations of AI. Other big names such as Meta (Facebook, Instagram) and Open AI (ChatGPT) have also bolstered their own support in other places as well.
We must use our voices and our time to advocate for ourselves and for fair elections by understanding each of our upcoming Democratic/Republican candidates stances on AI and Big Tech. We can do this by urging Congresspeople to schedule town halls.
