We the People Wednesdays Action for December 3, 2025

ACTION 1:

A federal judge in Philadelphia blocked a sweeping federal subpoena by the U.S. Department of Justice from obtaining the private medical records of kids who sought gender-affirming care at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). Judge Mark Kearney found that forcing the hospital to hand over names, birthdates, Social Security numbers and sensitive health-care data would violate children’s and families’ strong privacy rights — emphasizing that the government’s request went “beyond the authority granted by Congress.”

Write to thank Judge Kearney. Adapt this sample text:

Dear Judge Kearney,

  Thank you for standing up for children’s privacy and reaffirming that their medical care should remain safe and protected.

Thank you,

<your name and zip code>

Judge Mark A. Kearney

6613 U.S. Courthouse

601 Market Street

Philadelphia, PA 19106

ACTION 2:

Rep. Chrissy Houlahan is one of six veteran lawmakers who released a video urging U.S. service members to refuse unlawful orders and uphold the Constitution.  Following that video, she was publicly accused of “sedition punishable by death” by the president — and her district office even received bomb threats.

Write a postcard of support to Rep. Houlahan.  Adapt this sample text:

Dear Rep. Houlahan,

  Thank you for your courage in standing up for the Constitution and protecting our democracy. Your integrity and service mean so much to us.

Sincerely,

<your name and zip code>

Rep Chrissy Houlahan
