FL special elections April 1 (donate if you can) and letter writing to spineless MAGAturd Rep. legislators.
From Chris Bowers Wolves and Sheep in regard to the House passing budget resolution containing the outline of Donald Trump's legislative agenda by a narrow 217-215 margin.
"...The bottom line is that Republicans have indeed moved a step closer to passing Donald Trump's legislative agenda through Congress, but it was the easiest step. They still have a long way to go. Our goal in this process needs to be to minimize the cuts they eventually pass to the social safety net, especially to Medicaid and food stamps, and to the investments in clean energy programs passed in the Inflation Reduction Act.
"Here are three concrete actions that grassroots activists like you can take that will reduce both the scope and possibility of those cuts. The first two involve writing letters to your members of Congress, urging them to: 1) oppose any cuts to Medicaid and food stamps; and 2) oppose cuts to investments in clean energy. These letter writing campaigns are most effective if you happen to be represented in the House by a Republican, as all Democrats are a lock to vote no on these budget resolutions and reconciliation bills. Taking either of these actions may result in receiving emails from allied progressive activist organizations.
"The third action is a fundraising ask for two Democratic candidates running for the vacant House seats in the 1st and 6th congressional districts of Florida. The candidates are Gay Valimont and Josh Weil, and both of their elections are being held on April 1, less than five weeks from today. These are both deep red seats, but if Valimont and Weil can put up competitive results, it will really put a scare into vulnerable, moderate House Republicans in purple districts, making it even more difficult for Republicans to pass pretty much any cuts to the social safety net in their budget reconciliation bill."

Below is his USPS verified address. I get emails and texts from him and just got this today.
His Republican opponent won his primary with 33,883 votes, and
Weil won his with 9,713

But Floridians are pissed about Trump. So please help us Dems win this seat. He says:
They’re scared. They know that if we flip this district, we are one step closer to taking back the House.
Republicans have billionaire backers, dark money groups, and corporate PACs fueling their campaign. But I have something much stronger: YOU. Our campaign is built on people power and grassroots donors from all 50 states who believe in truth, fairness, and the urgent need to defeat right-wing extremism.
We cannot let these attacks go unanswered. Every day, more misinformation spreads, and if we don’t have the resources to fight back, they will define this race before we even get to Election Day. But we can only do that if we hit our fundraising goal this week.
This race is about more than just one seat – it’s about standing up to a radical movement that is determined to silence us. Let’s show them that their money can’t buy this election.
Let’s show them that when people come together, we are unstoppable.
Thank you for standing with me. Together, we can flip this seat and take back our democracy.
