NO PRESIDENT IS ABOVE THE LAW. ELIZABETH WARREN.

I've got a plan to make sure that no president is above the law: Pass a law clarifying Congress’s intent that the Department of Justice can indict the President of the United States. If you agree, sign our petition.Elizabeth Warren

Another tragedy in Virginia. JENNIFER BOYSKO.

Dear David,
I was heartbroken to hear the tragic news of the mass shooting in Virginia Beach this week. The twelve victims who lost their lives and the four who were injured did not deserve this fate.

Gov. Northam is calling members of the Virginia General Assembly into special session to address gun violence in Virginia. He and I believe that we cannot just offer prayers to those who were killed and injured and condolences for those who lost loved ones. We must keep working to find ways to make real policy changes that will ensure that this never happens again. We have to take this horrific event as yet another cue to work even harder to prevent gun violence.

This is a devastating time for all Americans who continue to live in fear of gun violence where they work, where they eat, and where they go to school.

Every single day, 100 people are killed by gun violence. Shockingly, this year so far, there have already been more than 22,600 instances of gun violence in the U.S. This was the deadliest US shooting, not in a decade, but since last November. 

This kind of violence is way too familiar in this country, and it saddens me to the core. To suggest that we should not act is unconscionable.

We will keep those victims of this shooting in Virginia Beach, as well as the 22,600 other victims who have lost their lives, in our hearts as we move forward as a state to help prevent future tragedies. This weekend, join Everytown for Gun Safety in its Wear Orange Weekend and National Gun Violence Awareness Day. If you can, please attend a local #WearOrange Weekend event in your community on June 8th and 9th. Just text ORANGE to 644-33 to find one near you.
Kindest regards,
 - Sen. Jennifer Boysko

Help strengthen the future of philosophy. AMERICAN PHILOSOPHICAL ASSOCIATION.

Dear DAVID,  The APA aims to strengthen the future of philosophy by supporting the development and dissemination of teaching materials and techniques at all levels and providing support for efforts to teach philosophy in primary and secondary schools. The teaching fund was created to provide financial support for innovative teaching projects and initiatives, such as the Teaching Hub, a series of interactive workshops and conversations designed to address the teaching of philosophy across all levels, held in conjunction with APA meetings. However, the teaching fund is supported entirely by donations rather than by an endowment, and its current balance is approximately only $3,000. Regrettably, we have had to turn down several recent requests for funding due to insufficient funds.   Without additional donations from APA members, we will not be able to provide funding for deserving projects and programs related to the teaching of philosophy. Please help strengthen the future of philosophy by donating to the teaching fund today.   With gratitude,   Amy E. Ferrer Executive Director

How do we stop climate change? JENNIFER WEXTON.

David,

This past weekend marked the two-year anniversary of Donald Trump withdrawing the U.S. from the Paris Climate Agreement. This reckless action drastically set back our efforts to fight climate change. And new studies show that time is quickly running out to reverse its effects.

Jennifer knows that we need bold action to preserve our planet and natural resources for future generations. And if we’re going to act, we need to get as many citizens involved as possible.

Your voice matters to her. Can you take a minute to fill out our survey and tell Jennifer your thoughts on how we can stop climate change?

Jennifer has always fought for renewable energy and responsible stewardship. When she was in the State Senate, she sponsored legislation that would expand consumers’ access to community solar energy, mandate quicker reporting on hazardous spills in Virginia waterways, and broaden the powers of the Department of Environmental Quality to go after polluters.

She’s brought these principles to Congress, and was proud to vote for the Climate Action Now Act last month to affirm the House’s support for the Paris Climate Agreement. But she’s up against a White House that questions science, an EPA that’s being blocked from doing its job, and countless special interest groups that work to advance the agenda of polluters.

She can’t win this fight alone, and that’s why your voice is so important. Please take our survey here >>

Thank you,
