Fresno Office: (559) 485-7430

If you can't get through to one office, try another. There is no benefit to calling one office over another. Leaving a voicemail is as good as reaching a live person. Hate the phone? Resistbot is your friend.

Call Script
My name is __________. I am a constituent, and my zip code is _______. I am a member of Indivisible SF.
I am aware that Congress is working to prepare emergency funding to deal with the coronavirus outbreak. I urge the Congresswoman to allocate supplementary funds for the NIH, DHS, and CDC to properly address this public health emergency.
I also urge her to not let coronavirus response funds get used for anything other than coronavirus response. Don’t include any “riders” that aren’t related to coronavirus response.
Finally I ask the Congresswoman to make sure that any vaccines or treatments for coronavirus are affordable and accessible for everyone.
Background
The novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a public health emergency in the US and the world. The Trump administration has demonstrated lack of preparedness and is purposefully spreading misinformation, not allowing scientists to inform the public about this disease outbreak.
While COVID-19 clearly poses risks to the health and well-being of people globally, we have a responsibility to ensure that bad actors like Trump, pharmaceutical corporations, and white nationalists don’t seize on this opportunity for their own benefit, as we take swift and smart action to prepare and respond. Emergencies such as a pandemic are often seized on by authoritarian leaders to expand their own power, at the expense of civil rights and in service of racist narratives intended to keep them in power.
Our elected representatives have the power to allocate funds to stop the spread of the disease and develop an efficacious and affordable vaccine (antidote).
