We let them know that we're paying attention – and we have their back when they go out on a limb.

Trump Guts Social Security & Medicare
The HEROES Act, which passed the House in May, reveals the difference between Democrats and Trump-McConnell’s GOP. Democrats care about our struggles and want to help us. Trump-McConnell’s GOP doesn’t care about us. They use our suffering to grab more money and power for themselves. They don’t care that their greed exacerbates the impact of long-standing racist policies that have left BIPOC communities more vulnerable to COVID-19. They care only about themselves.

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.
