Call Your Reps in Congress!
Let’s use the power of the blue wave to get some important work done! Call our Senators Martin Heinrich, Ben Ray Luján and Representatives to demand the following important asks. Their phone numbers are listed below.
Our Three Demands
- NO to the FY2027 NDAA and strip Section 1217 that would make US-Israeli defense cooperation permanent.
- NO to the BAAJA Bill, which rolls back environmental, tribal, and legal protections to speed up energy deals, including data centers and detention centers.
- NO to Chuck Schumer as Senate Majority Leader and NO to Hakeem Jeffries as House Majority Leader. Both have accepted sizeable amounts of money from AIPAC, were reluctant or refused to endorse and support progressive and socialist candidates like Mamdani and Angie Nixon, and represent the past not the future of the Democratic Party.
Why These Issues Matter
FY2027 NDAA — Section 1217: Would make the U.S.-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative permanent inside the Pentagon, with no annual congressional review. Heinrich already voted against advancing this bill on July 14 but he hasn’t issued any specific statements on Section 1217, so the ask is for him to hold that line and speak out against Section 1217 loudly. No floor vote is scheduled yet. The pressure window is now, while the compromise text is being negotiated.
Heinrich’s BAAJA Bill: Rolls back environmental, tribal, and legal protections to speed up energy deals, including data centers and detention centers. While the goal of the legislation is to make it easier to build green, clean energy, the current drafting green lights a number of projects without limit and reduces important legal protections available to community members.
Democratic Leadership: Heinrich has a primary election coming up before Luján so he is especially vulnerable. Senate Democrats will vote by secret ballot in December which is why it’s important to get our senators on record of how they will vote ASAP.
