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!

IS IT THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM? WE NEED TO DECLARE WHITE SUPREMACIST GANGS DOMESTIC TERRORISTS NOW

It is well past time to declare dangerous ,and devote resources to combat and fully dismantle, rightwing domestic terrorists like the Proud Boys. We are on the precipice of possibly reelecting an openly racist candidate who has signaled repeatedly that our homegrown rightwing hate groups are his “brown shirts.”

HOW MANY SCANDALS CAN ONE SUPREME COURT CREATE?

Elections have consequences. Had Trump not suppressed Stormy Daniels’ story, he might have lost the election. The three SCOTUS appointments would have been Democrats, ensuring that its Democratic supermajority would have summarily rejected Trump’s absurd claim of absolute immunity and that its reputation would not have been destroyed.

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly Verdict

GOP candidate and convicted felon Donald Trump was found guilty 34 times by a jury of his peers. The trial was about election fraud and denying American voters relevant information just before the 2016 election—not about hush money and adultery. MAGA Republicans responded to the verdict by denigrating the justice system in a reckless and dangerous anti-constitutional display that we must refute collectively, loudly, and repeatedly.

CORRUPT SUPREME COURT JUSTICES MUST RECUSE FROM JAN. 6 CASES

Corrupt Justices Alito’s and Thomas’ direct ties to the January 6 insurrection create clear actual or perceived conflicts of interest that make them unfit to rule fairly over pending January 6 cases and Trump’s absurd claim of absolute immunity. Their failure to recuse, or be forced to recuse by Chief Justice Roberts, suggests SCOTUS cannot fairly decide these cases and demands immediate action from Congress.

PASS THE EQUALITY ACT NOW

Responding to pro-Palestinian activism on college campuses, Republicans, long purveyors of antisemitism, pushed through the House legislation conflating political opposition to Israeli policies with antisemitism. The Senate must kill this legislation, which violates the First Amendment’s protection of free speech and actually supports stereotypes against Jews.

IF WE CAN’T EAT THEM, AT LEAST WE CAN TAX THEM!

“America’s tax code is riddled with loopholes that allow the ultra-wealthy to get away without paying their fair share.” Senator Ron Wyden’s Billionaires Income Tax Act would end “buy, borrow, die” loopholes by applying tax codes to fewer than 1000 of America’s wealthiest people thereby generating billions for Social Security and Medicare.

JUSTICE DELAYED IS DEMOCRACY DESTROYED: SCOTUS MUST ISSUE A SPEEDY PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY DECISION

American voters deserve to know whether Trump is guilty of fomenting the January 6 insurrection before going to the polls to choose our next President. On April 25, through coordinated posts on social media, we're demanding that SCOTUS issue its immunity opinion by May 20th, which would enable the trial over Trump’s attempted 2020 insurrection to reach a verdict before election day.

ARE WE BETTER OFF ECONOMICALLY TODAY THAN WHEN BIDEN TOOK OFFICE? ABSOLUTELY YES

When Biden took office, the pandemic was raging, and our economy was on life-support. In just 3 years, he rescued the economy, revived our infrastructure and manufacturing sector, created millions of good-paying jobs, slashed childhood poverty, and lowered the costs of families’ everyday expenses. Giving him a second term and a Democratic Congress will improve our lives even more. Americans deserve no less.

Biden’s State of the Union Address: A Tale of Two World Views

Every morning President Biden awakens and asks: “What I can do to improve the lives of the American people?” Trump, by contrast, asks, “How can I increase my wealth and power and punish my enemies?” In his State of the Union address to the American people last Thursday, the President stressed their very different world views, values, policies, and future plans.

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.
