Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer.

What are you giving up this year? Let us know. #GiveUpBillionaires

OPINION: The nonpartisan Nuns on the Bus & Friends “Vote Our Future” tour will visit 20 cities. The goal isn't to push our beliefs, but to serve as a reminder to all of us of the sacred power of participation in our democratic process.

🟡NEW: The Harris campaign has told the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget that VP Harris supports *all* the tax increases on high-earners and corporations in the latest WH budget.

That amounts to ~$5 trillion over ten years to finance her agenda

It is crucial that Catholic voices are fairly and truly represented in our public discourse by elevating the causes of the most vulnerable.

My social justice values are deeply connected to my faith and upbringing as a Catholic. That’s why I joined @NETWORKLobby to reaffirm our commitment to the right to seek asylum, as well as health care, climate, economic and racial justice.
