Tell Fidelity, Schwab, and Vanguard: Stop blocking donations to the Southern Poverty Law Center
The Southern Poverty Law Center’s track record is proven. The Justice Department’s claims are not.
The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) faces a dubious criminal indictment by Trump’s DOJ. Even though the DOJ claims are unproven, Fidelity, Schwab, and Vanguard won’t allow their customers with donor-advised funds to make charitable donations to the center. This amounts to “obeying in advance.” Use this tool to send a pre-written message demanding Big Finance stop blocking donations to the Southern Poverty Law Center or write a message of your own.
Help Pass Legislation to Extend Protective Status for Haitians
Contact our Senators
The recent Supreme Court decision allowing the Trump administration to begin deporting Haitians living in the US with legal Temporary Protective Status will be devastating to our Haitian neighbors and everyone who benefits from their contributions. Both our Senators support a bill to grant Haitians temporary protected status until 2029. Urge them to do everything possible to build support among their colleagues. Passage is URGENT.
Help Increase Voting Among College Students
Send an easy tool to students you know.
Young people are critical to our democracy’s future. But only 1/3 of college students voted in the last midterm election. The process of registering can seem daunting. Introduce the college students in your life to College Students Vote, a new website that explains and streamlines the registration process.
College students can vote either at home or at college. For Mass. kids in other states, voting at school might be a more strategic choice. This new resource, developed by Concord Indivisible members who are parents of college students, will help them make a plan.
