Tell Congress: Stop Trump's War with Iran
From 5 Calls:
On February 28th, Trump partnered with Israel to launch “major combat operations” in Iran, killing Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei and drawing several other countries into armed conflict. Both chambers of Congress introduced resolutions to restrict Trump’s power over this illegal and unwanted “war of choice”, but both resolutions were voted down. The failed resolutions would have reaffirmed Congress’s sole authority to declare war as is established in Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution, which Trump blatantly ignored when he unilaterally engaged our military without congressional authorization.
​
Though Trump continues to change his flimsy rationale as to why he attacked Iran, he and his cabinet members have bragged about their success in what they have continually referred to as a “war.” Even so, many Republicans in Congress have argued over semantics, suggesting Trump hasn’t violated the Constitution by “declaring war” in spite of the deaths of hundreds by airstrikes in Iran and surrounding countries, the torpedoing of over twenty Iranian ships in international waters, the use of new forms of AI warfare, and the deaths of US service members in the conflict.
​
Trump has not given any clear end date for the war or provided a plan for moving forward, only ominously claiming he will do “whatever it takes.” Lawmakers anticipate that Trump will soon seek emergency funding—despite the billions already spent on military operations in Iran in the face of countless devastating domestic budget cuts—and experts fear the ill-defined rationale for bombing Iran will lead to another “forever war.”
​
Congress cannot allow Trump to start and exploit devastating geopolitical conflicts for his own benefit. Call your representatives and tell them to assert their constitutional authority over this unjustified and unnecessary war of choice.

SB 476 – Income Tax Reduction Act of 2026
SB476 would make the first $50,000 of income tax exempt for individual filers and the first $100,000 for joint filers, and SB477 laid out the timeline for a plan to continue the tax rate reductions beyond the 4.99% that the Governor has promised, reducing the rate to 3.99% by 2028. Both bills would blow a hole in Georgia’s budget that would require either cuts in services or increases in sales tax to fill, both of which hurt the most vulnerable in our society and benefit the wealthy. Since these have passed the Senate, our best bet is to try to stop them in the House. Both bills await a vote in committee in the House. You know what to do.
​
​TAKE ACTION: Please email or call Speaker of the House Jon Burns (404-656-5020) and ask him not to bring these bills to the floor of the House for a vote.
Property value claim process
HB295 allows property owners to sue city and county governments if they fail to enforce state laws related to homelessness, public safety, and immigration. Damages are capped at the amount of property taxes the owner paid in the previous year. The bill effectively criminalizes poverty, as opposed to providing the resources needed to solve the underlying issues. This bill has passed the House along party lines and now awaits a full Senate vote.
TAKE ACTION: Contact your senator and tell them to vote NO if this bill is brought to a vote.​

HB960: Adds Judge to Gwinnett Circuit
UPDATE: The bill just passed the Senate by substitute along party lines. When a Georgia Senate bill is passed by substitute, an entirely new version of the bill replaces the original text. Because both chambers must pass the exact same text, the substituted bill must return to the originating chamber for a vote to agree to the new changes before it can proceed to the Governor. New "call to action" should be to call your House Rep and ask that they vote against the bill.
HB 960 was swapped at the last minute into a major elections overhaul. It shifts audit oversight away from the elected Secretary of State and toward the State Election Board, and it expands public posting in ways that raise privacy and security risks.
​
Tell your Representative: protect voter privacy + keep checks and balances in our election system.

Tell Your Senators: Vote NO on Voter Suppression
From Indivisible.org:
Republicans are once again pushing for a series of voter suppression bills–all variations of their infamous “SAVE Act” which would create unnecessary obstacles for millions of eligible Americans trying to register to vote.
This voter suppression legislation would require every voter to show proof of citizenship, like a passport or original birth certificate bearing their current legal name, when registering to vote in federal elections. That might sound simple, but the reality is that millions of eligible voters don’t have these documents readily available. Because these bills would require showing this proof in person, they would eliminate online and mail-in voter registration. These bills wouldn’t improve election security–would just make it significantly harder for everyday Americans to vote.
If passed, these bills would disproportionately impact:
​
-
Married women and others who have changed their last names, many of whom don’t have birth certificates matching their legal name
-
Trans and nonbinary people
-
Naturalized citizens who could face additional barriers and intimidation
-
Military members, tribal citizens, and working-class Americans, who may not have easy access to these documents
-
Rural Americans who would no longer have access to online and mail-in voting
And others!
We’ve seen the damage of similar laws in states like Kansas and Arizona, where thousands of eligible voters were blocked from registering. Those without citizenship status are already barred from voting in federal elections, and states have secure systems in place to verify voter eligibility.
​
Call Senator Warnock (D.C.: 202-224-3643; Atlanta: 770-694-7828) and Senator Ossoff: (D.C.: 202-224-3521;

"Hello, I’m a constituent from [part of state], and I’m calling to ask [Senator] to vote against the SAVE Act, the MEGA Act, or any bill that attacks our voting rights.
​
There are already strict laws in place preventing anyone who is not a citizen from voting in federal elections. These bills aren’t about election security—they are a blatant voter suppression tactic designed to make it harder for millions of eligible Americans to register and vote.
​
Tell [Senator] that I expect them to protect voting rights—not make voting more difficult. I urge them to vote NO on any bills that would disenfranchise Americans."
