Immigrant Solidarity Updates
Good News! Thanks to the power of grassroots organizing, Citizens Bank has announced its plans to “exit the credit facilities” that fund Geo Group and CoreCIVIC, notorious private prison companies who are profiting from immigrant detention while holding people in inhumane and life-threatening conditions. Read the bank’s statement here, news coverage at WGBH, and the De-ICE Citizens Bank Coalition response. ACTION: Resist 287(g) Agreements between ICE and Local Police A 287(g) agreement is a partnership between local law enforcement agencies and federal immigration authorities, allowing designated officers to perform certain immigration enforcement functions in conjunction with Immigration and Customs Enforcement…

VETO Corner: Updates
GOOD NEWS: Bathroom Bill vetoed! This week we had an important win – Gov. Ayotte vetoed House Bill 1442 (the “bathroom bill”), which would have allowed businesses, prisons, detention centers, mental health facilities, etc. to designate bathrooms and locker rooms and to assign residential placements based on sex at birth rather than gender identity. The dedicated efforts of readers like you, who phoned and emailed the Governor, helped make this happen. It’s no small achievement, given the amount of power in the hands of Republicans who pushed hard to get this bill through. BAD NEWS – MORE REASONS TO START PERSUADING FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS TO…

Who are the Candidates for state office in NH…and where do they stand on the issues?
Filing for the November 2026 elections with New Hampshire State Office closed on June 12. Anyone who is hasn’t filed with the Secretary of State won’t be on the ballot in November (although write-in campaigns are not uncommon, especially for NH House races). Your job (after you check your voter registration status and register if you haven’t already) is to find out who’s running for local offices in your town or district and learn about them. For incumbent candidates, this means finding out whether they voted with the GOP’s far-right agenda to defund public school, disenfranchise legal voters, and send…

2026 Midterm Elections
YOUR HELP IS NEEDED! The New Hampshire Democratic Party is looking for Ballot Clerks / Inspectors to help protect voter access at their local polling stations on election day. Ballot inspectors help to uphold democracy, promote free and fair elections, and support our hardworking election officials. In New Hampshire, both parties are allowed to appoint ballot inspectors, so we want to make sure that there is bipartisan representation in all polling locations. Across the state, we have 1015 ballot inspector roles to fill and we need your help to do it! Individuals who are interested in serving as ballot inspectors can…

Please call Governor Ayotte (603-271-2121) and ask her to veto the Tax Cap bill! HB 1300 (Tax Cap) requires every NH community to include a tax cap question on their ballots during the 2026 and 2028 general elections. Communities can already adopt tax caps during their school budget and town meeting processes. This is much more sensible timing, because at those meetings people are focused on – and debating – budget issues. But once again, extremist Republicans are disregarding our tradition of local control. There are many serious problems with HB1300. But one issue that hasn’t received much attention is that the…

Legislative Actions: Week of June 7
The Legislative Session is now over.* We will continue to urge Governor Ayotte to veto destructive Republican bills that were passed by the Legislature during the 2026 session.

To do so, both chambers need 2/3 of…
