Hi all,

TODAY'S ASK:  There is an immediate call-to-action today and tomorrow to rally behind a solid package of House bills that would rein in the massive amount of power accumulated and consolidated by Big Tech (Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google). The House Judiciary Committee is marking up these bills on Wednesday, and we need to have them passed!

Please call Rep. Delgado today at 202-225-5614
 with this suggested script:

"This is [your name] calling from [your town].  I’m calling to urge Rep. Delgado to reach out to his colleagues on the House Judiciary Committee to ask them to support the bi-partisan package of bills that would rein in the power of Big Tech corporations like Amazon, Facebook, Google, and Apple.

These corporations have grown too big, too powerful and too invasive, using their near-monopoly power to collect personal information on ordinary Americans and make billions by invading our privacy.
Amazon’s CEO Jeff Bezos is the richest man in the world, worth $200 billion dollars – and neither he, nor Amazon have paid a dime in federal income tax on Amazon’s $29 billion in earnings for two years—even though their business exploded during the pandemic.

On Wednesday, the House Judiciary Committee will be marking up this anti-trust package, and we need these bills to pass to get to a full floor vote. To this end, I urge the Congressman to publicly voice his support for this legislation. Thank you!"

SECONDARY ASK:  It's likely the obstructionist GOPs will filibuster the For the People Act this week. If so, we move into Round 2 to publicly denounce those senators who refuse to safeguard voting rights, end partisan gerrymandering, and curtail dark money in politics.To this end, Indivisible Ulster will be hosting a rally in Kingston on Monday, June 28th, 1 pm, as part of a national day of outcry. We'll be taking videos of attendees and sending them on to Leader Schumer (if the bill does pass, we'll record our thank you's!). Please sign up for the rally here:

As always, thank you for your steadfast persistence.
