Ruth L\u00f3pez led 15 investigations into government corruption in El Salvador. She filed 17 lawsuits. She made 120 requests for public information. She filed habeas corpus petitions on behalf of 76 families whose loved ones were deported by the U.S. to a megaprison.
\u00a0
Her dedication to being a voice for the voiceless made her a target. For over a year now, Ruth has been imprisoned by the Bukele regime in El Salvador. No warrant. No charges. No trial.\u00a0<\/strong>
\u00a0
The U.S. sends hundreds of millions of dollars to El Salvador.<\/strong><\/a>
\u00a0
Tell Congress: It\u2019s time to condition that aid, and demand Ruth\u2019s freedom.<\/strong><\/a>
Authoritarian leaders\u2019 playbook is always the same: divide us, detain us, keep us quiet. Working people, especially immigrants, Black and brown communities, bear the brunt of these abuses.
\u00a0
When they silence one person without consequence, they can silence all of us.<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Rise Up. Demand Better.<\/strong><\/a>
The Iran war is driving prices up while Trump tells reporters, \u201cI don\u2019t think about Americans\u2019 financial situation.\u201d While Americans are so indebted by health care bills that they\u2019re turning to AI chatbots for medical advice, he says the federal government can\u2019t pay for Medicare or Medicaid because it has to fund unnecessary and illegal wars overseas. Are you done watching them dismantle the things that protect people in this country, and ready to act to fix it?

Get Money Out of Politics in Michigan<\/strong><\/a>
A proposal in Michigan would ban regulated utilities and large gov\u2019t contractors from making political contributions. More than 4 out of every 5 Michiganders support this, but to get it on the ballot, they need to collect 356,958 valid signatures. Getting this passed in Michigan would pave the way for other states to follow suit!
\u00a0
Make sure Michiganders you know and love know how to sign the petition!<\/strong><\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Tell Organizations You Support: It\u2019s Time for Medicare for All<\/strong><\/a>
9 out of 10 Democratic voters and almost 2 out of every 3 voters overall support Medicare for All. The government\u00a0should<\/em>\u00a0guarantee health care to everyone, and anything less means tens of millions of people in the U.S. will continue to suffer from debt and a lack of care. Organizations are joining together to call for electeds to stand on this platform, because now is the time.
\u00a0
Share this organizational sign-on letter (not for individuals!) with groups you support.<\/strong><\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
