call to action for May 12, 2025
Background
From air travel to data security, the Trump regime is making Americans less safe in countless ways. Our representatives in Congress need to hear from you about the regime’s reckless and lawless actions.
Call Your Senators

Hi, I'm a constituent calling from [your zip code]. My name is [your full name].
We have an air travel crisis, and the Trump administration is to blame. First, Elon Musk forced the FAA administrator to resign. Then Trump fired top leaders at the TSA and dismantled the Aviation Security Advisory Committee. He also Trump offered air traffic controllers buyouts, even though the FAA has a nationwide staffing shortage. Now Americans are terrified to fly. Please tell Senator [NAME] to raise the alarm about this crisis. Congress needs to act.
Also, I’m seeing alarming footage of ICE arrests around the country. In these horrifying scenes, ICE officers wear masks, show no ID, and often act brutally when conducting arrests. They seem accountable to no one. Abusing immigrants doesn’t make us safer—it just makes us evil. And ignoring due process and other Constitutional rights makes us less safe. I urge Senator [NAME] to call for hearings into ICE’s unlawful behavior. Thank you.
Call Your Representative
For most of us, that’s Sam Liccardo. If you are not sure who your U.S. representative is, go here.
Sam Liccardo | 202-225-8104
Hi, I'm a constituent calling from [your zip code]. My name is [your full name].
I’m alarmed by new reporting in the Washington Post that Elon Musk and DOGE are creating a massive database that will gather all of Americans’ most sensitive and personal data in one place. This is a disaster in the making. Cybersecurity experts are horrified by this plan, and so am I. Please tell Congressman Liccardo that Congress must act now to keep DOGE out of our personal data.
Also, I wish to thank Congressman Liccardo for signing a letter urging the Israeli government to end its blockade of humanitarian aid to Gaza. Aid must be resumed to avert a humanitarian catastrophe. I appreciate Rep. Liccardo’s leadership in this matter.
