Point 2: The most effective thing a constituent can do is show up in-person to their senator's local office and speak to their staff/them about the issues they care about.

Not physically/logistically/financially possible for all (waves cane!) But for those who can: https://www.mobilize.us/indivisible/c/funding-crisis-response/event/create/

Does @indivisible.org have any tips in cases where senators -- Padilla and Schiff come to mind -- just don't list addresses for their offices? Schiff won't even publish phone numbers for his local offices on his site.

jodyhouser.bsky.social•20 days ago

Padilla's offices are listed on his site: https://www.padilla.senate.gov/contact/

aboynamedart.bsky.social•20 days ago

Ah, great, thanks! But then there's Schiff, as you see here.

Yeah, that I can't help you you unfortunately 🧐

Do any of these numbers work? https://www.congressweb.com/aacrao/legislators/info/mbr_id/31/

aboynamedart.bsky.social•20 days ago

Someone was nice enough to share these, which (at least in my city) do work. But they can't be the only ones who isolate themselves.

For those looking to act from home, a friend pointed me to this app that both helps you find the numbers to call and assist you with knowing what to say when you do call. As someone who HATES phone calls (thanks terrible customer service job!), looking forward to trying 5 Calls tomorrow. https://5calls.org/

Yeah, I'm not calling anyone. I do a lot in my life and I'm going to allow myself to not do the one thing that causes me massive anxiety. I'll see if there's something about this on https://resist.bot.

jodyhouser.bsky.social•20 days ago

Thanks for the reminder, added it to the thread!

jodyhouser.bsky.social•20 days ago

For people more comfortable with calls and daytime availability tomorrow (Monday Feb 3rd), there is a phone bank you can sign up for here: https://www.mobilize.us/workingfamilies/event/752152/

jodyhouser.bsky.social•20 days ago

And if calls are a no go for you, there's always Resistbot. https://resist.bot/
