- Protect the Supreme Court: Tell Your Senators NO CLOTURE on Gorsuch
The important vote this week for Gorsuch is the "cloture" vote. Voting for "cloture" means voting to cut off debate and end a filibuster. This vote requires 60 votes to succeed, which means Senate Republicans CAN'T win this on their own--they don't have enough votes. Ask your Senator (regardless of party) to vote "NO on cloture" for Gorsuch--check out the Indivisible Guide's newly updated script on this here.- Call your U.S. Senatorstoday and tell them you oppose Gorsuch. If they've already committed to join the filibuster, please thank them
- Share your opposition using the #WeObject and #StopGorsuchhashtags on social media
- Urge your member of congress to oppose escalating U.S. military involvement in Yemen

Mark Pocan [D-WI], Justin Amash [R-MI]; Ted Lieu [D-CA] and Walter Jones [R-NC] are circulating a letter to the President that says, "Congress has never authorized the actions under consideration."- You can urge your Representative to sign the Pocan-Amash-Lieu-Jones letter here, here, here, or here.
- Daily Action is also calling on its members to back the letter and urge Trump against escalation in Yemen
