A delegation of five congressional Democrats traveled to Louisiana on Tuesday to visit
#Mahmoud #Khalil and #Rümeysa #Öztürk
in the immigration prisons they’re being held in and to demand their release.

The group of lawmakers, led by Rep. Troy #Carter (Louisiana), is the first from Congress to visit either Khalil or Öztürk since they were abducted by immigration agents last month and flown from their homes in New York and Massachusetts, respectively, to Louisiana.

The group also included Sen. Ed ##Markey (Massachusetts) and Representatives Jim #McGovern (Massachusetts), Ayanna #Pressley (Massachusetts), and Bennie #Thompson (Mississippi).

“[Donald Trump] is a dictator. And the only way to beat a dictator is with defiance,” Rep. Ayanna Pressley said.

Today's #Congress outreach:
I sent https://resist.bot/petitions/PARLVP to #Warren #Markey and #Pressley via @resistbot, about how horrified I am to watch Trump and the GOP rolling back human rights, asking them to obstruct every step of the way and get the word out about what's happening and who's doing it to sway public opinion.
Please write and call your reps daily (you can use my letter above!) until we've successfully beaten back the coup. We need to keep the pressure on so they do.

Fight against rolling back human rights

Text SIGN PARLVP to 50409 to send this to your officials.

Today's #Congress outreach:
I sent a letter to #Warren, #Markey, and #Pressley via @resistbot, https://resist.bot/petitions/PDWBPU, thanking the Democrats in the Senate for fillibustering #RussellVought and encouraging the caucus to continue to do everything they can to oppose #Trump.
I also called and left messages for all three in which I said basically the same thing.
You should be contacting your reps daily too! You can use the link above to do it if you'd like.

More like last night's filibuster, please

Today's #Congress outreach:
I was so busy today I couldn't make phone calls before offices closed. I did write a letter to #Warren, #Markey, and #Pressley demanding that they do something about #HeadStart programs being denied access to funds. Maybe you'd like to join me in asking your electeds to act on this? If so, you can use my petition:
https://resist.bot/petitions/PKGLRW
Until we beat back the #coup, you, too, should be calling and writing your electeds in Congress daily!

Head Start needs help from Congress, urgently

Great #Stanley win today. Stanley on top in first half, #Pressley delivering the winning goal in 13th minute. Second half more even, Stanley holding Shrewsbury to go on to win. Could be a new dawn. C'mon #AccringtonStanley
