You likely watched in horror as Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill passed Congress just before the Fourth of July, with only 2 Republicans voting against it, and have been trying to wrap your mind around everything that’s in it since then.

This is being called the largest EVER upward transfer of wealth from the working class to the rich, with huge tax cuts for the wealthy paired with the slashing of Medicaid---which will gravely cut Apple Health in Washington--- and food stamps that are relied upon by the poorest Americans, higher Affordable Care Act insurance premiums, and a truly terrifying boost to mass surveillance and ICE (the ICE funding, by the way, is set to increase to heights greater than many of the world’s militaries, including Israel), as well as a massive assault on clean energy.

So guys, what are we going to do about it? Better yet, what are our local electeds going to do about it? Karissa offers a call to action for listeners.

If you appreciate this effort, PLEASE HELP by sharing to spread this call to action far and wide, and by sharing contact information for local elected officials in the comments on the podcast's social media post. Democrats, especially Ferguson, will need their arms twisted to act here, so it's up to us to amp up the pressure.

BIG SHOUT OUT to Hannah Krieg of the Burner's citizen journalism work up in Seattle that inspired this call to action. Check out the article covered here:
