Stop the Blank Checks to ICE!
Tell your lawmakers to cut the funding and demand accountability now.
ICE and Border Patrol need strict accountability, not endless supplies of taxpayer money. Yet despite horrific abuses against our communities – from pepper-spraying children to the fatal shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good – Congress continues to hand over billions with no strings attached. We the people must claw back our tax dollars from these out-of-control agencies. Click below to send a pre-written message to your lawmakers to cut funding to ICE and Border Patrol and rein in their violence today!
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 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.
Sponsor a Common Cause Voter Protection Volunteer
Donate So Voters Can Vote
