A great day for democracy in Mobile, AL
Here's what's next.
What an amazing crowd on an amazing day! Thank you everyone for turning out and for defending our beloved democracy.
Here is the information we shared at the protest:
On Monday, June 16, we will participate in the 50 Days of Shame campaign, organized by Indivisible St. John’s County in Florida, and rolling out across the entire country, one state at a time. Alabama is first! Our charge is to shame our reps in real life, to flood social media, and to jam the phones, and in doing so, send them a clear message: they must take back their constitutionally-prescribed power and rein in this would-be King of America!
The plan:
In Person Shaming
At noon we will gather for a flash mob style protest at the office of Representative Barry Moore. Please bring signs that shame Moore for his record, which includes:
Voted in favor of the Big Bad Bill which will cause 24,000 people in his district to lose their health insurance, 22,000 to lose SNAP benefits, AND blows up the deficit to the tune of $4.5 in order to provide MORE tax breaks to the very richest among us.
Voted to kick dedicated service members out of the military for no reason other than that they are trans.
Voted to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico. What is this nonsense even about?!
Voted in favor of the so-called SAVE Act, which would result in voter suppression, particularly for women who have changed their names in marriage.
Reintroduced legislation that would abolish the Department of Education, which will hurt higher education and students in the U.S.
And has utterly failed to rein in this lawless president and his administration. SHAME ON YOU.
Or just plan to chant with us:
Shame on Moore, shame on Moore, shame on Moore.
Rein in Trump, rein on Trump, rein in Trump.
You work for us, you work for us, you work for us.
Etc.

Condemn Trump’s Use of the National Guard and the Military Against Americans
Oppose Harmful Provisions in the “One Big Beautiful Bill” Act
Here is a potential phone script:
Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from Mobile.
I’m calling to urge Representative [ ], Senator [Katie Britt] or [Tommy Tuberville] to oppose H.R. 1, the House budget reconciliation bill, and its harmful cuts to vital government programs.
[OPTIONAL]: Specifically, I’m very concerned about… [PICK 1-3 budget provisions]
the massive increase in the federal deficit, (and)
the cuts to student aid, (and)
the cuts to federal worker retirement benefits, (and)
the defunding of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, (and)
the roll back of the Inflation Reduction Act's urgent climate-focused programs, (and)
the elimination of gun silencer taxes, (and)
the remittance tax on immigrants, (and)
the partisan attack on federal regulations.
Congress should pass a fair and responsible budget that helps working families and communities, not one that slashes our benefits to fund tax cuts for the wealthy.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
