5/2/26 SOCIAL JUSTICE FROM THE COMFORT OF YOUR HOME

Every week the SJA  publishes a list of various justice actions that members and friends can take from the comfort of their homes.   We ask you to add your name to at least one, that resonates with you.

National Campaign for Justice

Trump has signed an executive order that would give the federal government unprecedented control over the 2026 elections. It directs agencies like DHS and Social Security to build a federal list of “verified” voters, then forces the Postal Service to block mail-in ballots from anyone not on that list. That means millions of eligible Americans could be denied their vote, not because they are ineligible, but because they are not on a list controlled by the same administration trying to stay in power.

This overrides states’ authority over elections and concentrates power in the hands of one man who has already tried to overturn an election once before. Tell Congress to immediately reject Trump’s election takeover and defend our right to vote.

The Workers Circle-Jewish Culture For  A Just World

For over a decade, the federal government automatically extended work permits for people who had filed their renewal paperwork on time but were still waiting on government processing. It was a commonsense policy that protected workers from losing their jobs simply because of federal bureaucratic delays.

Thankfully, there’s a bipartisan solution called S.J. Res. 99 that would, if passed, extend work permits for millions of immigrant workers. Will you demand your Senator support it today?

Climate Hawks Vote

In case you missed it, last month Trump released his “skinny budget” that proposes taxes and spending for the next fiscal year. Trump’s plan would cut the Environmental Protection Agency budget in half, and slash billions of additional dollars from any other agency that deals with climate change.Tell Congress: “Reject Trump’s EPA cuts. Protect clean air, safe water, and environmental justice for every community.”
