What is one thing you can do today to help save democracy?

I just emailed my state senator and told him to leave citizen-led ballot initiatives alone.

One thing every day.

Absolutely if we can't have citizen-led ballot initiatives while they gerrymander it's a right for open revolt

winhof22.bsky.social•34 days ago

Almost every day I email my senators and the White House with comments. Today it was about the depression this administration is causing.

grateful4moi.bsky.social•35 days ago

I called five senators this morning to tell them to reject the Save Act.

hopereins.bsky.social•35 days ago

Please write the Supreme Court a letter. It is the only way to contact them. Don't forget the mention they are partly responsible for the fascism that is destroying our country.

Called my Republican senator and gave him a piece of my mind about Trump’s handling of the economy.

joe-crowder.bsky.social•34 days ago

That would be nice. Here in Indiana we can't have nice things because people have been bamboozled for decades.

zen1924.bsky.social•35 days ago

This is what I can do and do.

Is the Jess Piper Fan Page legit???? They just followed me.

Repost the President’s reply to Arkansas Governor Sanders request for FEMA funds for the tornado devastation last month. Proving you get what you vote for.

That we begin an immediate mass grave investigation into CECOT.

We, the U.S. taxpayers, are sending funds to this death camp.
We must demand that we are not wilfully complicit because it's easier to ignore the evidence.

lindaece.bsky.social•35 days ago

Meeting with my representative tmor. He offered us 30 min and only 4 people can attend. Topics range from budget, tariffs, SS et all and immigration. We are 4 older women who are pissed.

gertiegreen.bsky.social•35 days ago

In Indiana we don’t have citizen-lead ballot initiatives. It would take an amendment to our state’s constitution to get them. And, having had a Republican supermajority firmly in place for decades, that’s not likely to happen anytime soon. Don’t be Hoosiers, MO. Protect your ballot initiatives.

drdarrell-c.bsky.social•34 days ago

Good, doing some other than complaining online. 😹😹😹😻

ogjojo.bsky.social•34 days ago

I call and/or email my senators & rep daily re: DOGE, Impeach trumpty, protect SNAP, Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, no SAVE Act, pass John Lewis act, strip Trumpty of tariff authority, protect federal workers, public lands, EPA, NIH, CDC, fire Hegseth, RFK. I do petitions & forward emails.

freethinker-28.bsky.social•34 days ago

Yes! One thing every single day. That’s a motto I can stand by and do. We are millions, and that would make a huge difference.

bullcityindivisi.bsky.social•35 days ago

Sign up to help cure ballots for @allisonjriggs.bsky.social if needed - essential meeting this Friday! https://www.mobilize.us/ncdems/event/779060/

What’s it’s like to live in a forward thinking state that allows ballot initiatives asks people of TN

mjsgaymer.bsky.social•34 days ago

What needs to happen is the US Marshalls need to arrest Trump, Vance, and Elon.

nonnieida.bsky.social•35 days ago

Excellent suggestion. Thank you.

pamwalkerstl.bsky.social•35 days ago

I spoke to my congressman's office and shared the direct impact of Kennedy cuts to the #STL City health department and our citizens. #MADA Make America die again. 1 thing a day.

leoslaire.bsky.social•35 days ago

I called my Senator, Rubin Gallego, who is on the Senate Oversight Committee, and asked him to investigate Pete Hegseth's use of Signal and leaking of our secrets.

Went to LWV Democracy Breakfast

reaptress.bsky.social•35 days ago

5 calls app daily, fax zero daily (especially to red state reps / senators who can be swayed) calling in won’t do good if you aren’t for their district but a fax gets their attention - emails daily - resist bot daily - campaigns & petitions daily - protests regularly - getting back to the community

tabbibmore.bsky.social•35 days ago

Telling mine to keep up the good work.

Chris Van Hollen, the first to go fight for due process in el salvador

judyendless.bsky.social•34 days ago

Yes! One thing every day. I do that and write it down in a journal. It’s nicely cumulative

coolrickjd.bsky.social•34 days ago

I called my senators and reps and demanded they demand the removal Hesgeth. Tonight, I’m hosting a resistance discussion group.

debscheetzam.bsky.social•34 days ago

Driving mine crazy . Except the MAGA one. Silence.

jeepersar.bsky.social•34 days ago

If one does that in the huckster AR regime your name gets on a list that is sent to "ward bosses" and some neighbors then start to harass the senders with fake cop calls, phone calls, texts, and general annoyances. Pretty sure that list is used for other forms of harassment yet to be identified.

cartese60.bsky.social•34 days ago

Get loud people! Most of congress and senate have 24 / 7 voice mail. Call any rep to express your approval or Disapproval of their actions. Call on Saturday or after dinner
The capital is open 25 / 7 / 365
Make the call
202 224 3121. You can be anonymous
Action gives hope

I told some Evangelicalists that if they want a war I'll give them one,

blueferal.bsky.social•34 days ago

I wrote an essay about how the felon is not as powerful or scary as he seems because of the fact he has not got the full weight of the government, courts, or military behind him and posted. Concluded with it’s up to us to keep our foot on the gas so he never does. Not much, but one thing at least.

london-rises.bsky.social•34 days ago

I just blocked few USA entitled humanoids. It counts

allenlaird.bsky.social•35 days ago

I’m doing the same. Some days more than one!

jenlovesbodhi.bsky.social•34 days ago

Thank you for this- many of us want to be more active but aren’t always sure what steps we can do… appreciative of your examples and how accessible they are

rvroomie.bsky.social•35 days ago

EVERY DAY!

I am buying zero products made in the USA.

luxexnocte.bsky.social•34 days ago

I emailed my senators and asked them not to sell off our public lands that are a great legacy and an integral part of the heritage of our nation.

zeebranation.bsky.social•34 days ago

I just told my senators to stop RFK from accessing private health care records that show autistic spectrum family members for his blatantly eugenic study!

jesskratzgibson.bsky.social•35 days ago

I make my 5 Calls every day, but I also try to spur others to do something. Just sent my mom (who is an artist) an article about DOGE heading to the Nat'l Art Gallery. Told her she and her artist friends should be calling about this. Trying to get people involved!

nana1956.bsky.social•35 days ago

Did the same thing Jess as well as call both Schmitt and Hawley’s offices to demand they ask for Hegseth’s resignation

buy powdered milk for my children now before the contaminated milk goes undetected. my kids believe in democracy and will be good future citizens and I also don't want them dead

cairistionaaoidh.bsky.social•34 days ago

Well done Jess

spacemonkeygleek.bsky.social•34 days ago

Every day I research, write, and post a new letter campaign for others to send via text with Resistbot 🤖 It’s magic—and they’re great scripts for calls, too!

judalicious.bsky.social•34 days ago

Thank you for your service!

spacemonkeygleek.bsky.social•34 days ago

It’s quite gratifying. Takes seconds. Text a link to a video or article with your position and it drafts a darn good letter!

Plus it’s so all-around handy — like text CSA to get farm boxes near you. Same with BLOOD banks and protest EVENTS. ❤️

I love ResistBot and use it to send letters every day. Even though I live in Missouri and it’s like screaming into the wind.

YOUR STATE SENATOR SHOULD DEPORT HIM TO
EL SALVADOR PRISON

Help an organizer keep communities building and set up voter registration drives and food can donation sites.

jp1102.bsky.social•35 days ago

Tomorrow arrest Trump.

tleekeene.bsky.social•34 days ago

And this

ohiodolt.bsky.social•35 days ago

YES! I've been calling or emailing my reps (state and/or Congressional) every day. Only takes a few minutes, and there's no lack of topics to hit them on.

They're all Republicans. Will they be influenced? Probably not, but I intend to be a nuisance. Let them know they're being watched.

capdance.bsky.social•35 days ago

Nice one!!!!!!

gigival4.bsky.social•34 days ago

Put criminals in jail where they belong!

mplsmndani.bsky.social•34 days ago

Went to the Earth Day rally at the MN Capitol. Got a good tip for my local calls: HF 2438/SF 2393 would not only cut public transport but would roll back environmental protections in six critical areas. Big NO

codycoyote1959.bsky.social•34 days ago

I emailed Dan Sullivan and demanded he do his job and make Pete Hegseth resign. My son is in the military and based in Anchorage. I raised him in Alaska to be an honorable man and I expect the Secretary of Defense to be the same.

He is not by any means. And I am pissed off.

bobv9834.bsky.social•34 days ago

As a disabled American I have had to set my daily standards a little differently...
The dog needs you...don't die.

It's easier than trying to find the few politicians who actually would care either way. I don't have donation money to give...so most of them don't.
