They're rewriting the rules of your election.

In 6 states, lawmakers are making it harder for working families to vote — the same families fighting for paid leave, childcare, and a country that actually values care.

Don't give them the chance to change the rules again. Vote early.

Parents, caregivers, neighbors — this is for you.

You already know the cost of this moment. The grocery bill. The childcare waitlist. The eldercare phone tree. The vote you can't afford to lose.

You don't have to carry it alone.

House Parties for Democracy are small gatherings — in living rooms, on porches, around kitchen tables — where neighbors come together to talk about what we're facing, what we're building, and what we can do next.

No experience needed. No politics degree required. Just snacks, a few neighbors, and a guided conversation that turns into real action: GOTV. Mutual aid. Local organizing. A strategy for 2026.

If your kids are finally asleep and you're wondering what you can actually do — this is it.

63% of U.S. families live in a child care desert. Care is unaffordable. Providers (most of whom are Black and Brown women) earn poverty wages. And the U.S. economy loses billions every year to a system failing all of us.

That's not a glitch. That's by design.

We're fighting for something different: universal child care, built on racial and gender justice. Public investment, not private profit. No family pays more than $10/day. Thriving wages for the providers holding our economy together.

This isn't a someday-policy. It's a now-fight.

On Monday, May 11, we're joining Community Change Action for the 5th Annual Day Without Child Care — a national strike for universal child care.

Three ways to show up:
1. Host a House Party: familyvaluesaction.org/house-parties
2. Sign the strike pledge: https://act.communitychangeaction.org/a/pledge-for-childcare-2026
3. Comment 🍼 — if you want to share your child care reality

This May 1st, we're doing something about it.

Workers, parents, and communities across the country are saying enough. Billionaires are writing the rules — and the rest of us are paying the price. On May Day 2026, we show up together. No work. No school. No shopping. One coalition, one demand, one day of action.

Featuring leaders from Facebook.com/oaklandforward, Facebook.com/hcanspeaks, Facebook.com/somospoderlatinx and Facebook.com/NJCitizenAction

Tax the rich. No ICE. No war. Expand democracy. Hands off our vote.

The Supreme Court just gutted the Voting Rights Act.

In a 6–3 decision today, the Court struck down Louisiana's majority-Black congressional district — and opened the door for states across the South to redraw their maps before November. Florida moved within hours. Mississippi is next.

Here's why this matters for working families: when voters lose power, paid leave loses power. Childcare loses power. Medicaid loses power. Every fight we're in runs through the ballot box.

Your vote still matters, because it wouldn’t be under attack if it didn’t.

WE DID IT. 🗳️

Virginia voted YES — refusing to let Trump rig the 2026 midterms.

Voters approved a new congressional map that could shift the state's U.S. House delegation from 6-5 Democratic to as many as 10-1.
But the fight doesn't stop at state lines.

➡️ Texas Republicans gerrymandered 5 Democratic seats off the map, silencing communities of color.
➡️ Missouri Republicans drew Black voters out of Kansas City.

Our coalition partners Workers Defense Action Fund (TX) and Missouri Jobs with Justice Voter Action are fighting back — and we stand with them. Virginia won. Texas and Missouri are next. ✊

🏠✊ INTRODUCING: HOUSE PARTIES FOR DEMOCRACY

Democracy doesn't start in Congress. It starts in your living room.

We’re Launching House Parties for Democracy — a nationwide campaign where YOU host the conversation. Gather your people. Talk about what matters. Turn care into collective action.

Here's how it works:
🟣 Invite your neighbors, friends, coworkers — whoever you trust
🟠 Use our FREE toolkit with a spinning wheel that picks your conversation topics
🔵 Discuss 2-3 topics for 20-30 min each — care strategy, local issues, protecting the vote, economic justice & more
💛 Walk away with real actions you can take together

You don't need to be an expert. You just need to open your door.

Your FREE House Party Toolkit includes:
✅ Interactive spinning wheel with timer
✅ Host guide & facilitation tips
✅ Discussion prompts for every topic
✅ One-pagers for each conversation
✅ Reporting & reflection tools
✅ PLUS a training session for all hosts

Small gatherings have always sparked big movements. This is how we build power — one living room at a time. 🔥

Tax Day is here — and this week, Trump ordered McDonald's to the Oval Office to promote his tip tax cut. DoorDash driver. Red t-shirt. A $100 bill tip on camera.

The vibe was "workers win." The fine print says otherwise.

"No tax on tips."

"No tax on overtime."

"No tax on Social Security."

Caps. Phase-outs. Restrictions. And the workers who need it most? Many don't even qualify.

Watch this before you file. Tag someone who works for tips, picks up overtime, or is about to retire. 👇
