As we go into the 2016 Presidential elections, we see that the 
Federal government still needs a plan to raise revenue, our college 
students are emerging as the most indebted generation in history before 
they even enter the workforce, 30 years after the Equal Rights amendment
 passed women’s earnings have risen from .77 to .78 of a man’s earnings 
and now hourly workers struggle to vote on election day because of long 
lines. It is way past time to begin our transition from fossil fuels to 
clean, safe, renewable energy. &nbsp;We are asking our legislators to 
cosponsor the following legislation:Senate Millennials are drowning in student debt. The College for All Act (S 1373 – Sanders)
 directs the Department of Education (ED) to award grants to states to 
eliminate tuition and required fees at public institutions of higher 
education. This bill also allows student loan borrowers to modify 
interest rates on outstanding federal student loans to current rates; 
reauthorize the Federal Work Study program for FY2016-FY2020; eliminate 
existing base guarantees of Federal Work Study funds to Institutions of 
Higher Education and requires funds to be allocated based solely on the 
aggregate need of the institution’s students.

77.2 million American workers are hourly workers with 1.3 
million earning only the minimum wage of $7.25/hour. Civic engagement 
should not compete with a worker’s ability to pay for food and rent. S 1969 – The Democracy Day Act – Sanders would make election day a Federal holiday.

When Congress returns from recess after the election, they will again be working on a budget. The Inclusive Prosperity Act (S 1371 – Sanders) is a tiny tax on Wall Street transactions
 (50 cents on a $100 sale) that generates more than $300 billion in 
revenue each year that is used to fund discretionary social programs.

According to the Census, 50.8% of the US population is female; 68.1% of seniors living in poverty are female.
 The simple reason for this statistic is that over their working lives 
women still consistently earn less than their male counterparts. It is 
way past time to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment. SJ Res 15 
(Cardin) seeks to add three (3) new states to the original 35 ratified 
states to complete the Constitutional amendment process.

We are in a climate emergency and the clock is ticking on humanity. It is time to transition from fossil fuels to clean, safe, renewable energy by ending fossil fuel extraction leases. S 2238 – Keep It In the Ground (Merkley) seeks to do exactly that and end our dependence on fossil fuel.House HR 1464 - Inclusive Prosperity Act (Ellison) HJ Res 51 - ERA 3 State (Speier) HR 4535 - Keep It In the Ground (Huffman)As Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. remarked, “Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhumane”.
 Six years after the ACA people are still experiencing medical 
bankruptcy and the working poor are dying because insurance is not 
healthcare. We urge you to cosponsor HR 676 – Expanded and Improved Medicare for All (Conyers) to provide lifelong healthcare for everyone.

Our misadventures in the Middle East have made us far less safe
 than ever before. Regime change has not produced the results we want so
 at this time we need to change direction. HR 4108 (Gabbard) prohibits use of funds for regime change in Afghanistan. A
 nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military 
defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom. ~ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
