Call Script
My name is __________. I am a constituent, and my zip code is _______. I am a member of Indivisible SF.
Thank you for supporting the For the People Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. Voting rights and democracy itself are under legal and mob assault in ways we have not seen since the Jim Crow era of the last century. Therefore, I urge you to do everything in your power to defend democracy in America by abolishing or reforming the filibuster and pressuring your Senate colleagues so that those two bills can be enacted into law.
This Week's US Congressional Call Scripts:
Tell President Biden and our Members of Congress: continue to stand firm against MAGA government shutdown blackmail
Tell President Biden and our Members of Congress: Stand fast, don’t surrender to MAGA Republican shutdown blackmail!
Republicans are playing brazen, dangerous hardball in order to force Trump-era immigration policies in exchange for support for Ukraine, and Democrats are considering caving to their demands. Tell your Senators to reject these draconian policies.
Thank you for standing strong against MAGA Republican extremism in favor of protecting a functioning government by providing enough votes to pass a Continuing Resolution without the draconian cuts MAGA extremists were seeking. Please remain strong in protecting our values in the second batch of bills in February.
Tell your Members of Congress: Support the Biden Administration’s supplemental funding package!
We repeat: Call President Biden and your Members of Congress and tell them: "Hold fast! Do not surrender to political blackmail—even if it means a government shutdown!"
We’ve enjoyed decades of online life with strong protections for freedom of speech. It’s a complicated subject of rights and responsibilities, just as life—online and off—is complicated. But while the current state of things is not perfect and there may still be room for improvement, it’s a pretty good balance on the whole.
A bill introduced in the previous Congress and reintroduced in this year threatens to upset that balance. As is so often the case, the proposal is ostensibly “for the children;” the new bill is called the Kids Online Safety Act. It would force messaging services like iMessage, Signal, and WhatsApp, along with social media services like Twitter, Facebook, and Mastodon, to gatekeep who can participate in online life and to monitor what we say.
This is a dangerous, poorly-thought-out bill with a dangerously high number of bipartisan cosponsors in the Senate. We must stop this bill from becoming law.
As the House and Senate begin debating the ransom deal legislation today, it is possible that Republicans will raise new extortion demands. Our response has to be: “Not one penny more! Not one policy retreat further!”
Tell the President and our senators that President Biden should withdraw the nomination of Elliott Abrams because it is antithetical to the Biden administration’s diplomatic support for democracies worldwide.
Contact your Members of Congress and tell them: pass the Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency Act of 2023 and show that they are serious about binding the Supreme Court to a code of ethics.
