Use the Five Star App, call, or write your representatives directly. Critical decisions are being made right now, and your voice matters. Here are three key issues requiring immediate advocacy:
1. Protect Our Public Lands Active efforts are underway to weaken federal protections for public lands and open them up to private acquisition. Proposed regulations threaten to dismantle decades of environmental oversight and undermine the federal agencies responsible for land and wildlife management, leaving over 175 million acres of public land at risk of sale or development.
-
Key Message to Share: Express strict opposition to public land sales and “land swaps”—including proposed transfers of land within Yosemite National Park to private real estate developers. Tell your legislators directly: “Stop endangering our public lands now.” Check the Five Star App for additional action details.
2. Safeguard Free and Fair Midterm Elections With the midterm elections less than 60 days away, widespread efforts threaten access to the ballot box. These include operational restrictions on USPS ballot processing and attempts to nationalize election administration away from state authority. Data consistently demonstrates that American elections operate with high integrity, with negligible instances of voter fraud found across independent audits.
-
Key Message to Share: Urge your representatives to protect state-level election oversight, reject unnecessary voting restrictions, and ensure full access to mail-in and in-person balloting for all eligible voters.
3. Pass the “Covenant for Our Future” and Repeal H.R. 1 We must hold our leadership accountable to principles that prioritize voters over special interests. Reaffirming our commitment to the “Covenant for Our Future” requires clear legislative rollbacks on policy overreaches that undermine local representation.
-
Key Message to Share: Request an immediate repeal of H.R. 1 and advocate for transparent, accountable governance that puts communities first.
