NEW: Your action worked

The Senate didn't advance ICE funding – take action now >>

BREAKING: The Senate didn't advance ICE funding – take action now >> TAKE ACTION Huge news, Pamela: the Senate just held its first vote on whether ICE gets another $10 billion to harass and attack our neighbors. And 55 senators voted NO. [1] You (and the over 80,000 Common Cause members who've spoken out in the past week) made this happen. If you're like me, you've spent over a year demanding that our representatives in Congress finally stand up and do their jobs. Pamela, I'm not exaggerating when I say today could finally be that turning point. This vote was just the first procedural hurdle – and there's real risk that once Trump turns up the pressure, senators might cave. But, it's also the best sign we've gotten yet that we're making an impact – so, now I need your help to keep it up. Our records show you're in Florida, and our list of key swing votes includes Rick Scott and Ashley Moody. Can you take action today, thank them for doing the right thing, and let them know you're counting on them to hold firm? TAKE ACTION Thanks for all you do, The team at Common Cause P.S. Once you've made your call, if you're still feeling fired up, please join our phonebank tonight to connect with voters like you and help keep this momentum >> Pamela, this can't keep happening in our country. The new video footage of ICE killing yet another person in Minneapolis is horrifying – and an absolutely unmissable call to action. [1] Now, the President is asking the U.S. Senate to fund his terror campaign to the tune of $10 billion. Our job: make sure senators finally listen to the overwhelming majority of Americans, do their jobs, and tell Trump and ICE: hell no. Your senator, , needs to hear from you now. Can you take action NOW to make sure they know you're counting on them to do the right thing? TAKE ACTION ICE is out of control. Trump's unaccountable federal agents are: Pushing to enter our homes without warrants – a direct attack on our constitutional rights [2] Abducting children and reportedly using them as "bait" to lure parents into arrests [3] Escalating racial profiling and violence – targeting protesters, civilians, and anyone this administration decides doesn't belong [4] Voters across the country are fed up with this lawlessness. Poll after poll shows strong opposition to ICE's actions. [5] But last week, seven House Democrats joined nearly every Republican to ignore the American people and pass $10 billion in funding for ICE to terrorize our neighborhoods. [6] Now the Senate has a choice. They can draw a line, hold this administration accountable, and refuse to fund these abuses – or they can be complicit. Sen. needs to hear from you. Can you take action right now? We'll be in touch later this week with more action items – but for now, this is the single most important thing you can do right now to change the dangerous course this country is headed down.
