Yesterday, we asked you to call Representatives Jayapal and Smith to thank them for their “no” votes for the “Emergency” DHS funding package. Unfortunately, our Senators did not show the same level of courage. Today, we will voice our displeasure with their votes, both over the phone and, if you can attend, at our Resist Trump Tuesday Rally.
Action: Call our Senators to express disappointment about their votes for the DHS “Emergency” funding bill
Senator Patty Murray: DC – 202-224-2621 Seattle – 206-553-5545
Senator Maria Cantwell: DC – 202-224-3441 Seattle – 206-220-6400
Script:
“Hello, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [CITY, ZIP]. I wanted to call to express my disappointment that [MoC] for voted for H.R. 3401 to give Trump’s inhumane deportation and detention machine a blank check.”

Senators Murray and Cantwell voted for the Senate version of the immigration funding bill last week. While the House bill had guardrails to prevent the Trump administration from using this money to imprison more people or build the wall, the Senate version did not.
We have our regular meeting with the Senate staffers today. Let’s make sure they know that this vote is completely unacceptable.
