CALL TO ACTION

Tell NJ Senators - Strongly Oppose the Extreme GOP Anti-Voter SAVE America Act

We are in a serious situation now. We must flood our NJ Senators, who have expressed opposition to this terrible anti-voter bill, with many calls, urging them to speak out loudly against this bill. This awful bill has passed the House and has moved to the Senate. GOP Senate Majority Leader Thune has promised a floor vote on the bill, though it’s path to 60 votes is unclear. However, in yet another attempt to steal the 2026 Midterms, Trump is now exerting tremendous pressure on GOP Senators to break the filibuster and pass this bill. He is threatening NOT to sign any more legislation, until this bill becomes law!

This bill would hinder millions of eligible Americans from registering to vote-or to cast ballots-by requiring citizens to present a birth certificate or passport in person to register and to vote. Millions of Americans don’t have easy access to these documents. Despite unfounded claims to the contrary, there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud. The SAVE America Act is designed to block eligible people from voting, not to protect elections. Demand your NJ Senators strongly oppose the SAVE America Act and protect voting rights for all.

Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [CITY, ZIP].

I'm calling to urge [SEN NAME] to oppose the House-passed SAVE America Act, which would create unnecessary barriers to voter registration and disenfranchise countless voters, especially women, seniors, and low-income citizens. The bill is designed to block voters despite no evidence of widespread fraud.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Tell Congress - Stop ICE from Building Prison Camps in NJ

Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [CITY, ZIP].

These facilities are known for their abuse, neglect, and lack of oversight, and they cannot be allowed to operate here. I demand that [REP/SEN NAME] speak out against ICE’s expansion and support regulations to prevent ICE from buying and building these camps in Roxbury, NJ, and elsewhere in our state.

*** CALL TO ACTION ***

Tell Congress - No Funding for Trump's War

Trump’s war has already cost the lives of US servicemembers, at least 1,000 Iranian civilians, and others caught in the crossfire throughout the region. Democrats' efforts to end it with a War Powers Resolution failed last week, but the fight is far from over.

The regime will soon ask for billions more of taxpayers' money to continue their blood-soaked recklessness.  We need to call and email our Members of Congress and demand they refuse to fund Trump's war.

The American public is firmly against this conflict. None of us want another forever war. Congress must act. We’re calling on Members of Congress to respond to this crisis by:

1. Conducting immediate oversight 

2. Continuing to force votes on War Powers Resolutions 

3. Restricting or cutting off funding for unauthorized hostilities, which includes opposing any supplemental packages that would fund the war   

4. Holding the Trump administration accountable and putting an immediate stop to this.

Dear SJNOW Indivisibles,

Important New Initiative:  Citizens Bank supports ICE activities, lending money to GEO Corp and CoreCivic, to build and maintain detention/deportation facilities under horrendous conditions.  Join us in telling the bank that this is not acceptable!  We will be rallying this Saturday, March 7th from 10:30-11:30 at the Citizens Bank branch, corner of Rte 73 N. & Greentree Road, (Whole Foods shopping center).  We will have signs available, but if you bring your own, please have the message directed to Citizens Bank’s support of ICE.  Hope to see you there!

EXCELLENT NEWS FOR THE RESISTANCE:

“The Beginning of Accountability”

Today the heads of National Indivisible, Ezra Levin and Leah Green praised our members in their weekly Zoom meeting for putting pressure on members of congress to bring about hearings, resulting in the dismissal of Kristi Noem, the Secretary of Homeland Security.  Ms. Noem had presided over the improper arrest and detention of over 170 American citizens, the death of three others as well as 32 deaths in ICE detention facilities in the past year.  Ezra and Leah labeled it “The beginning of accountability.”  

Ezra Levin also predicted that the Democrats would take both the House and Senate in November, giving the party subpoena power to investigate and hold accountable criminal actors in the Trump administration.  

Senate Democrats Block DHS Funding Again Due to ICE Misconduct

Today, Democrats again refused to fund DHS, for the third time, stating that unless ICE agents remove their masks, wear body cameras and follow procedures ordinarily used in police departments across the country, they would not fund the department.  In regard to this move, Ezra Levin told Indivisible members today, “No money to DHS until there are changes to the secret price force!”

The House Oversight Committee Votes to Subpoena Pam Bondi Over Epstein Files 

Over the objections of the House Republican chairman of the Oversight Committee, several G.O.P. members joined Democrats to force the subpoena of Pam Bondi, the U. S. Attorney General for the second time this year.  It was a striking rebuke of a top Trump administration official by members of his own party.  Bondi had faced increasing criticism for her promise to release all the files and then refusing to do so.  Recently, she faced pressure because one of the files indicated that three other files existed of FBI interviews with a girl who claimed she was sexually assaulted by Trump when she was between the ages of 13 and 15.

Hello SJNOWIndivisibles March 5,

Call to Action:

Senate votes "no" on War Powers Resolution today; the House is set to vote tomorrow.

Today the Senate voted down the War Powers Res. 104 by a vote of 47-53.  Sen. Paul Rand (R-KY) voted yes and Sen. Fetterman (D-PA) voted no with the Republicans.  Tomorrow, March 5, the House votes on H. Con. Res. 38, its version of the War Powers Resolution to prevent the Executive Branch from declaring wars which are unconstitutional without first getting authorization from Congress.  Reining in the Trump administration from declaring war on foreign nations will stop the escalation of war in Iran and prevent a possible worldwide recession due to the curtailing of oil coming from the Middle East.  Please contact your Representative in the House for this very important vote on March 5.

Script:

Hi, my name is (name) and I am a constituent from (city, zip*).  I am calling to urge my Representative to vote yes on H. Con. Res. 38, the War Powers Resolution Act, to stop the Trump administration from waging war unconstitutionally without seeking authorization of Congress first.  This will stop the escalation of war in Iran and the beginnings of illegal military conflicts elsewhere involving the US, as well as possibly preventing a recession due to the inaccessibility of oil coming from the Middle East.  Thank you for your time and attention.

*Please use full address if you are leaving a voicemail.

Rep.  Herb Conoway:  202-225-4765, 609-438-6290.

Rep. Donald Norcross:  202-225-6501, 856-427-7000.

Good news for the Resistance this week from the U.S. Congress and Colleges and Universities Across the Country:

Democrats and Republicans Across the Country Push Back Against ICE and Its Facilities 

Republican Senator Tom Tillis joined Democratic members of the Senate to administer a scorching takedown of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem in hearings this week regarding the conduct of ICE officers in Minnesota and other states. He called her administration a “disaster”, as it had caused the improper arrest of many American citizens as well as the deaths of two others—Rachel Good and Alex Pretti of Minnesota.  Sen. Tillis then called for Secretary Noem’s resignation.  

In addition, Republican officials in Mississippi, New Hampshire, Tennessee and beyond successfully fought against proposed ICE facilities in their states. The governor of New Hampshire, Kelly Ayotte (R), a Senator from Tennessee, Masha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) and a Senator from Mississippi, Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) all successfully prevented ICE facilities from being built in their states.

Democracy Summer Launched by Colleges and Universities Across    the U.S. 

Hundreds of Colleges and Universities including Yale, Duke, state schools such as Michigan and Texas, as well as small religious colleges have joined with over 400 college civic groups to form the Democracy Summer network, inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s Freedom summer of 1964.  The plans include working this summer with organizations such as Civic Nation to register voters, promote free speech, canvass and focus on national obstacles to voting.

Dear SJNOW Indivisibles,

As we know, the Trump administration’s attack against Iran, killing the leader of its government, Ayatollah Khomeini, was launched without congressional approval, despite the fact that only Congress can declare war under the U.S. Constitution.  Our military has suffered a number of casualties and is expected to suffer more.  In addition, as the oil shipping through the Strait of Hormuz is now blocked by Iran, it could lead to a recession affecting all countries. 

 We continue to ask our members to call their congressional representatives, urging them to support the War Powers Resolution put forth by Rep. Ro Khanna, (Democrat from California) and Rep. Thomas Massie, (Republican from Kentucky).  A House vote is scheduled this week on the resolution, directing the President to end U.S. military action against Iran within 30 days of its beginning on February 28th, unless authorized by Congress as well as requiring limits on ground troops and regular reporting to Congress.  The phone numbers and emails for our representatives are set forth below, with a script to use during our contact with their offices.  

*Full street address and email if leaving a voicemail please

Representative Herb Conaway  202-225-4765, 609-438-6290

Representative Donald Norcross  202-225-6501, 856-427-7000

Senator Corey Booker  202-2224-3224, 856-338-8922

Senator Andy Kim  202-224-4744, 856-757-5353

Script:

Hi, my name is (name) and I'm a constituent from (city, zip*) calling my Rep/Sen to ask him to support H. Con. Res. 38, the bipartisan war powers resolution to stop the Trump admin from launching military strikes on Iran without the required authorization from Congress.  This is necessary to maintain Congress's war powers authority and to prevent military escalation in Iran.  I thank you for your time and consideration.

An even easier way to contact our reps is to use the 5 Calls app.  It identifies your legislators automatically, provides their phone numbers, and offers clear, ready‑to‑use call scripts so you know exactly what to say, lowering the anxiety many people feel about political outreach. The app also curates current issues, tracks your completed calls, and shows how many others are taking action. These features matter because calling representatives remains one of the most effective ways for you to influence policy, and 5 Calls removes the barriers—time, uncertainty, and complexity—that often keep people from speaking up.

Good news for the Resistance this week from the Judicial and Educational Pillars of Power:

Judicial Resistance

An explosive new ruling is expected to force the Supreme Court to address the Trump administration’s lies under oath as well as its defiance of court orders.  In a scathing opinion, a federal judge rebuked the Trump administration for sending immigrants to third countries where they have never lived before, with no due process hearing.  U.S. District Court Judge Brian Murphy also documented the numerous incidents where government officials lied, stonewalled or disobeyed orders of the court.  In various cases, the government misrepresented evidence, which turned out to be non-existent or omitted information showing their assertions were untrue.  The case will go to the Supreme Court, where the documentation of this misconduct may result in a ruling to stem such actions.

Resistance by the Ivy League

Columbia University reversed its policy of cooperation with the Trump administration to allow ICE on campus to deport its students.  This past week when a student was detained in the lobby of the university-owned dorm without a warrant, the leadership sprang into action.  They immediately alerted their elected officials of the incident, explaining how ICE staff had lied about looking for a missing child in order to gain access to the dorm building.  Explaining this reversal, Reinhold Martin, the president of Columbia’s chapter of the American Association of University Professors, stated, “The context has changed”, “We thank our friends in Minneapolis, who set an example for others to follow.”

Resistance from the Religious Community

The Conference for Catholic Bishops submitted a scorching amicus brief to a case before the Supreme Court, stating that their opposition to stripping people of birthright citizenship “is motivated by their firmly held belief that each person is endowed by God with an inherent dignity that confers certain universal, inviolable, and inalienable rights.” It further condemned the President’s executive order as “immoral” and contrary to the Church’s fundamental beliefs regarding the life and dignity of vulnerable people such as migrants and children.

Hello SJNOWIndivisibles,

On 2/28/26, Israel and the United States launched a major combat operation in Iran which reportedly killed Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, aged 86.  Trump was at Mar-a-Lago where he instructed his staff to attack a foreign country without first getting the constitutionally required authorization from Congress.  Demand that your representatives support the bipartisan war powers resolution by Rep Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Rep Thomas Massie (R-KY) planned for a House vote this week to rein in Trump's reckless use of our military.

Script:

Hi, my name is (name) and I'm a constituent from (city, zip*) calling my Rep/Sen to ask him to support H. Con. Res. 38, the bipartisan war powers resolution to stop the Trump admin from launching military strikes on Iran without the required authorization from Congress.  This is necessary to maintain Congress's war powers authority and to prevent military escalation in Iran.  I thank you for your time and consideration.
