9/23/25 Newsletter - Town Hall - October 5 - Speakers!
STRONGER TOGETHER
ABC/Disney is putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air TONIGHT!
We took action. We broke through. WE WON.
Boycotts work.
To the many of you who canceled your subscriptions, postponed your Disney vacations, and made ABC/Disney hear your voice: Thank you.
You proved to one of the world’s most powerful corporations that there’s a price to pay for bending the knee. We notched an important victory for free speech.
To sustain and grow our resistance, it’s important to celebrate our wins -- and this is one to be proud of. So please savor this people-powered victory and allow yourself, and those around you, to draw energy and inspiration from it.
Let’s use it to carry us forward into the next phase of the fight.

Need a Yes on Prop 50 Lawn Sign? Go to the NC Dems office for one today! 12 - 3pm, 1721 E Main St #6, Grass Valley
While you are at the Dem's office, sign up for their amazing Annual Gala, October 25 - a fabulous night of dinner, auction, speakers + more!Call our Democratic senator(s) to demand that they HOLD THE LINE against funding deals that hand Trump a blank check. With a huge government funding deadline looming, we need to remind our Democratic senators that we expect them to hold their ground -- not roll over like last time. Schiff and Padilla need to tell Schumer to let the Republicans shut the government down.
Call our Rep Kevin Kiley to demand he stop the Permit Act. The PERMIT Act isn’t about efficiency; it’s about permission to pollute. By weakening state authority under the Clean Water Act, it prioritizes industry convenience over clean water and the community.
It would drastically affect the future health of the Yuba River.
Read more about it HERE.
Call Kevin Kiley ASAP: (202)225-2523
Continue the fight to protect Freedom of Speech!
Email your representative to demand an investigation into government censorship. FCC Chair Brendan Carr’s threats may violate the First Amendment and other federal law, but an attempt to subpoena Carr is being blocked. Let’s turn the heat up to demand that Carr, ABC/Disney execs, and their partners be hauled before Congress to testify under oath.
