ACTION RESOURCES

All forms of resistance matter and even if you cannot call or speak to your legislator directly, the resources on this page are here to make your voice heard.
       "According to a 2015 C.M.F. survey of almost two hundred senior congressional staffers, when it comes to influencing a        lawmaker’s opinion, personalized e-mails, personalized letters, and editorials in local newspapers all beat out the telephone. …phone calls are a better way of contacting lawmakers, not because they get taken more seriously but because they take up more time—thereby occupying staff, obstructing business as usual, and attracting media attention." --Kathryn Schultz, The New Yorker

• Ballotpedia                                                                                                                                                                       Ballotpedia provides information on which legislators currently represent you on the Local, State, and Congressional level. The website will give you names of Senators, Representatives, and Judges in your district but does not provide contact information. 
• Daily Action                                                                                                                                                                                   "To join the community, text the word DAILY to the number 228466 (A-C-T-I-O-N). Every morning, you’ll receive a text giving you a simple action to take. It might ask you to watch and share a really good video. Or to text a piece of news to five friends. It might link you to your senator, member of Congress, or another appropriate official for a phone call–one that you can make while you’re walking to the bus stop or brewing your coffee. With a tap of your finger, you can do your part to resist this latest age of extremism in America."
• Facebook Town Hall​                                                                                                                                                                    Facebook Town Hall allows you to contact your legislators through Facebook.
