FIRST - Make Calls to Your Senators and Your Congressional Representative
This is not a one-and-done. We need to make calls as long as right-wing extremists are attacking democracy. We need to make calls every time they attack another institution, freeze funding for programs that Congress voted to fund, and every time they implement another hateful aspect of Project 2025.
CALL the U.S. Capital Switchboard at 202-224-3121. Follow the prompts to be connected to YOUR Senators and Congressional Representative.
PLEASE DO NOT CALL Members of Congress who DO NOT REPRESENT YOU - Thosecalls are ignored and they keep their constituents from getting through.
Even easier is to download the 5Calls app to your phone.
