Some Good News from last week
Great News - Ayotte announced end to the Merrimack plan!
From Kent Street Coalition - The Trump administration pulled its plan to build an immigrant concentration camp in Merrimack. What was presented as inevitable — a done deal, a fait accompli — was neither inevitable nor unstoppable. Through strategic organizing, tireless coalition-building, clear moral messaging, and courageous public protest, that plan was reversed and defeated.
Great News - NH House drops Karen Liot Hill impeachment attempt
The House Judiciary Committee on Friday unanimously recommended killing a resolution that could have led to an impeachment investigation against the state’s only Democratic Executive Councilor, Karen Liot Hill.

SUBJECT LINE: Constituent OPPOSES HB1217, HB1442, HB1754
Dear Rep Michael Ammon, Rep Gerald Griffin, Rep Lisa C.M. Post
I am one of your constituents, and I’ll be considering your voting record next election. I am a registered voter in your district, living in Mont Vernon. I’m asking you to OPPOSE these three bills when the House meets on THURSDAY.
They include:
OPPOSE HB1217, permitting classification of individuals based on biological sex under certain limited circumstances. The bill also establishes that these forms of separation based on biological sex do not qualify as discrimination.
OPPOSE HB1442, limiting the use of certain facilities on the basis of sex and redefining the term "gender identity."
OPPOSE HB1754, repealing the statewide use of the multi-tiered system of supports for behavioral health and wellness relative to systems of care for children's mental health. The House Education Policy Committee has unanimously recommended defeat for this bill. It will be on the consent calendar.
Sincerely,
Your name
And that you SUPPORT these key bills…
SUBJECT LINE: Constituent Requests Support for HB1822 AND HB1484
Dear Rep Michael Ammon, Rep Gerald Griffin, Rep Lisa C.M. Post
I am one of your constituents, and I’ll be considering your voting record next election. I am a registered voter in your district, living in Mont Vernon. I’m asking you to support two bills that are important to me when the House meets on THURSDAY.
They include:
SUPPORT 1822, relative to reporting of civil immigration detentions by state, county, and local law enforcement and correctional facilities. This bill requires semi-annual reporting regarding the number of individuals detained for civil immigration violations by any state, county, or local law enforcement or correctional facility.
SUPPORT 1484, establishing a state minimum wage and providing for incremental increases. This bill re-establishes a state minimum wage and increases it to $17/hour by January 1, 2029.
Sincerely,
Your name

Sen Denise.Ricciardi - Denise.Ricciardi@gc.nh.gov 603-271-1403
SUBJECT LINE: Constituent OPPOSES HB323 and HB392
Dear Senator Ricciardi:
I am one of your constituents, and I’ll be considering your voting record next election. I am a registered voter in your district, living in Mont Vernon. I’m asking you to OPPOSE these two bills when the Senate meets on THURSDAY.
They include:
OPPOSE HB323, requiring the presentation of a government-issued photographic means of identification in order to vote. From Open Democracy: “If passed, HB 323 would ban student IDs for voting, disproportionately impacting young voters and discouraging student participation in elections at a time when civic engagement should be encouraged.” Use this action alert to contact your senator before Thursday.
OPPOSE HB392, (New Title) directing the dissolution of the department of health and human services' office of health access and the department of environmental services' functions for environmental justice. The Senate Executive Departments & Administration Committee has unanimously recommended defeat for this harmful bill.
Sincerely,
Your name
You can also use this action alert to contact Senator Ricciardi about HB323 before Thursday.
Federal Actions You Can Take

Public Comment Period Open: White House Ballroom Proposal
The National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) has opened the public comment period on the East Wing Modernization Project, including the proposed construction of a 90,000-square-foot ballroom addition to the White House complex. The White House is a National Historic Landmark and National Park, owned by the American people and stewarded by the National Park Service. It has been home to our presidents since 1800 and is perhaps the most significant historic site in the United States. Before nationally significant places are permanently altered, the public deserves an opportunity to be heard and to help shape decisions that affect our shared national heritage.
Written comments are due March 4, 2026, at Noon ET.
Visit the NCPC participation page.
Select the blue “Submit Written Comments" button.
When completing the form, select "East Wing Modernization" for the "Select Projects" field dropdown.
Comments may be submitted as plain text or as a PDF.
Members of the public may also apply to provide oral testimony at the virtual NCPC meeting on March 5, 2026.
The meeting will be virtual, but you must register in advance to speak.
Speaker Registration Deadline: February 25, 2026 (Noon ET)

FEATURED EVENT
You're Invited!
Grassroots Fundraiser
to Benefit the
Cheshire & Hillsborough County Democratic Committees
with Special Guest
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear
Saturday, March 7th from 12-2 PM
The Community Kitchen, 37 Mechanic St, Keene
Please consider bringing a shelf-stable food item to support the Community Kitchen.
Meet Kentucky's dynamic Governor Andy Beshear!
The suggested donation is $26 for 2026 to make it accessible to many. A light lunch will be provided. Larger donations are welcomed and appreciated. All donations will be split equally between the Cheshire County Democratic Committee and the Hillsborough County Committee and used to support down ballot candidates in the crucial 2026 elections, as we work to regain majorities in the State House and the State Senate. Should the donation suggested provide an economic burden for your attendance, please contact hcdcnh@gmail.com. You may also contact us with any questions or concerns.
We thank our special guest Gov. Andy Beshear, and State Senator Donovan Fenton for helping facilitate and sponsor this event.
Governor Andy Beshear is viewed as one of America’s most popular Democratic governors, winning three statewide elections in dark-red Kentucky. Beshear won reelection by more than 5% in 2023—in a state that Donald Trump carried by 30 points.
Under his leadership, Kentucky has seen historic economic development and record investments in infrastructure, including building affordable high ground housing on reclaimed coal mines, transitioning Kentucky’s economy to become the electric vehicle battery capital of the world, and opening the first hospital in Kentucky’s largest African American community in over 150 years. Beshear has offered steady, compassionate leadership after historic disasters, from devastating tornadoes to historic flooding.
He governs a state with Republican supermajorities while standing firm on his values and doing the right thing regardless of politics. Beshear has regularly sued the Trump Administration to protect Kentucky’s interests, including over one $100 million in funding for Kentucky’s public schools. He has vetoed every anti-LGBTQ+ bill that has come to his desk, banned conversion therapy via executive order, restored voting rights to nearly 200,000 Kentuckians, and vetoed four anti-choice bills—including one of the most extreme abortion bans in the country.
