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.

New data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that deaths due to mental health conditions rose 5% in just one year. This means that the postpartum window of risk is growing, and our systems are not keeping up. Demand that our leaders ensure all moms have access to the mental health supports they need.

Our allies at the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) have spent 55 years dismantling hate groups, taking down white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and the Ku Klux Klan through landmark legal victories. Now, the Trump Department of Justice has launched a dubious criminal indictment against them, and has bullied Fidelity, Charles Schwab, and Vanguard into trying to defund them.
From Demand Progress
Congress failed to extend Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) before the recent deadline, raising the stakes for Trump and his authoritarian agenda. Now, Trump demands that renewing FISA also comes with passage of his signature voter suppression bill, the SAVE Act.1

STOP A PERMANENT PENTAGON-IDF PARTNERSHIP A provision in the NDAA would further institutionalize military cooperation between the U.S. Pentagon and the Israeli military, expanding joint weapons development and strategic coordination. Oppose making this partnership a permanent feature of U.S. defense policy.
From National Campaign for Justice
Trump’s Medicaid work requirements are a direct attack on health care for millions of people. Trump’s rule would force people with cancer, kidney failure, HIV/AIDS, and other serious conditions to fight through red tape just to keep the care that helps them survive. Across the board, the rule would force adults on Medicaid to prove they are working, volunteering, or in school for at least 80 hours a month, while creating new barriers for even more people who should be exempt. For example, a diagnosis alone may not be enough. Patients could have to prove their illness “significantly impairs” their ability to work before they can keep Medicaid. That means more forms, more deadlines, more confusion, and more people losing coverage even when they are eligible.
