have a big impact

Make a two-minute phone call to your U.S. Representative and your U.S. Senators and urge them to take specific action on a timely issue. We provide scripts to make it easy. Just select one of the Actions below to get started.

Why is this so important?  Our phone calls fire up our Members of Congress, stiffen their spines, and push them to fight harder. We let them know that we're paying attention – and we have their back when they go out on a limb. Make sure to call your own U.S. Representative and both Senators – they are the ones who represent you!

See more reasons to make that call and calling tips below.

Trump is following Hitler’s playbook, using the Gestapo-like ICE as his personal secret police to round up, detain, and exterminate through rendition brown and black communities—just as their Nazi equivalents did to Jews and gypsies. Daily we witness ICE’s cruel, violent, illegal acts—not just terrorizing communities, tearing families apart, and disappearing innocent people, but also targeting political dissidents and public officials rather than the hardened criminals Trump promised to deport. 

Our MoCs, if serious about stopping fascism, must do everything they can to prevent ICE’s further expansion and empowerment, while warning about accountability when they retake the House in 2026.

***IMMEDIATE ACTION***VOTE NO TOMORROW ON UNQUALIFIED LIAR,  FRANK BISIGNANO, FOR SOCIAL SECURITY administrator  [5-5-25]

The Trump-Musk “DOGE” mass firings and SSA office closures have created jammed phone lines, long wait times, and a website on the verge of collapse, but confirmation tomorrow of Frank Bisignano, a self-proclaimed “DOGE person” and ultra-rich former Wall Street executive, as Social Security Administrator will make everything worse.

Senators Wyden and Merkley, I implore you to impress on your Democratic colleagues the need for a united front–on this and all subsequent nominations–to demonstrate the Democratic Party is truly working for the American people. Right now that message is muddled. If Trump is destroying our institutions and democracy, how could all Democrats have voted to confirm Marco Rubio? Or 16 Democrats to confirm election-denier David Perdue–including Cory Booker who spoke eloquently against the administration for 25 hours just days earlier? 

To express outrage at the Trump administration’s cruel, unconstitutional behavior, you and your colleagues must also use all available Senate procedures to stall every nominee and regularly find creative ways to keep its excesses front and center, like today’s Hands Off Social Security Rally.

Why call your Members of Congress

Members of Congress have told us repeatedly that our calls matter. When they meet with their colleagues in Congress, they say "I'm getting swamped with calls about this illegal power grab. We need to take action."

If you're represented by Democrats: They are our best defense in Washington DC. They can throw sand in the gears of the Trump regime by using tools such as parliamentary procedures. And they have the power to call attention to particular issues via press, social media, special events. In short: our elected officials have power, and we must push them to wield it.

If you're represented by Republicans: Our calls let them know just how unpopular their actions are. We make them nervous, even if they don't show it. We make it hard for them to take actions that hurt Americans.

Calling tips

  • State your name, your zip code or neighborhood, and why you're calling

  • Stick to one issue per call

  • Don't worry about getting pulled into a debate -- the staffer will simply document your message.

  • Be respectful. The person on the other end of the line is likely a staffer who handles numerous calls daily. Being polite makes your message more likely to be heard and taken seriously.

  • Use personal stories when possible. When you share how an issue affects you personally, or why it matters to you, your message is more likely to resonate and be remembered.
