Read this, and follow the steps: How to apply pressure with phone calls
Use the 5 Calls website and app. 5 Calls has resources with information about who to call, why, and what to say. You can set a reminder in the app and it will prompt you on a regular schedule.
Use ResistBot, a chatbot that turns your texts into faxes, snail mail, or email and sends it straight to your representatives.
Bully your reps on social media. Does it move the needle? Eh, not really. It can raise awareness, but mostly it’s a great stress reliever! (Better yet, let’s ask the hard questions in person!)
Get Involved
Volunteer with us! Join our community Discord and let us know you’re interested in volunteering — we could use your help.
Plug in with organizations like MoveOn, Working Families Party, and 50501. They have regular days of virtual action, and will send our reminders for what to do, when to do it, and how.
Check Mobilize for local actions with other groups, and virtual actions you can join online!
Run for something! We need more progressive leaders. Think you’re not cut out for it? You might be exactly who we need.
