One of my best friends since middle school is an oncology nurse and mom of 3. She's been setting her alarm daily at the same time as a reminder to call her Republican representatives. I love her of course and she's a reminder of how disciplined small actions are possible. - ThreadSky

One of my bffs goes back about 35 years to my first teaching jobs in Iowa. In her early 70s now, she's been calling and emailing her congressional rep and is going to attend a seminar next week to "find out ways I can work to keep our democracy instead of being traumatized by it."

I should do that for calling my Premier.

I love that so many people make their calls before work in the morning, I do as well so now when I make my calls I can think about being solidarity with y'all across the country and I will feel less alone 🥰

PSA: If you enable it in the settings, the @5calls.org app can send you a daily push reminder to make your calls! 🗓️It also tracks your calling streaks!

📲Best of all it has prewritten scripts for a frequently-updated list of issues 💙

📢Tell all your friends!

Thanks for this! I have used the app but not the reminders. Good tip!

I’m recently retired and my job now is to call the office of my moderate R senator - 2-4 times a week.

I call them while I make my coffee. When I’m done calling, it’s at the perfect drinking temperature

Inspiring

I usually call first thing in the morning and it really helps limber me up for the work day. :-)

I’ve been calling on my drive to work and it helps get some of the anger off my chest before I start working.

I love how this emphasizes small, sustainable acts! The "go big or go home" thinking can be so demotivating. Little things we can build into our routines really add up and often do more over time than one big thing.

I hate taking to people on the phone

Will do anything to avoid it

I call daily

I use the 5 calls app! It links you to your reps- and gives you a script of talking points - helpful for those of us who need help communicating our thoughts coherently and not in an angry rant! Ha.

She’s amazing

One of the advantages of living on the west coast is that you can wake up and call DC right away, while still bitterly enjoying your coffee! No waiting!
