Item 1. Today

From GetFree:

This Thursday, the Senate is going to decide whether to appoint MAGA sycophant Paul Ingrassia to lead the Office of Special Counsel, an independent watchdog group meant to prevent corruption and oversee discrimination cases in the federal government. This same person has voiced vile views about Black and brown Americans, including saying things like MLK day should go to hell, that not all people are created equal, and joking about having a "nazi streak."

➡️ Take one minute to tell the Senate to block a white supremacist from the Office of Special Counsel.

Item 2. Tonight

We Are Somebody "is a capacity building organization for the working class. Our support and programming addresses immediate needs of working families while shining a spotlight on national and global disparities." Founder and President Nina Turner has a national organizing call TONIGHT with Stacy Davis Gates, President of the Chicago Teachers Union and the Illinois Federation of Teachers.

➡️ You can still sign up for the call here.
