Advocate For The Hopium Agenda/Pass Resolutions Of Condemnation In Your Community/Four Speeches To Study/Sign Up For No Kings on March 28th

There are a few more ways to go to work in the coming days - call your leaders and advocate for elements of our working, ever evolving Hopium Agenda; bring resolutions that condemn our Mad King and lets facts be spoken to a candid world to your state or local government; sign up for a No Kings event and watch my new interview with Indivisible’s Ezra Levin, a driving force behind No Kings.

Here’s our working Hopium Post-Iran Disaster Agenda:

• Work To End This New Gulf War, And Trump’s Global Imperial Ambitions

• Make Clear We Support Ukraine and Europe, Not Russia

• Roll Back The New, Illegal Tariffs

• Rescind The Trump Tax Cuts, Claw Back The Extra ICE Funding

• Make The US A Clean Energy Superpower, Fight For True Energy Independence, And Lower Energy Prices For The American People

• Keep Fighting To Rein In ICE, End Mass Deportation

This week our calls should clearly focus on reining in both the illegal war in the Middle East and ICE here at home.

I also strongly advise studying four recent speeches. All have new, pioneering narratives and language that feels like where we need to be heading this year:

• Governor Abigail Spanberger State Of The Union Response

• Senator Alex Padilla State Of The Union Response

• Leader Hakeem Jeffries War Powers Speech (3/4/26)

• James Talarico General Election Kickoff (3/4/26)

Keep working hard all. We are entering a dangerous place, and we need to be very, very loud now - Simon
