Call Script
My name is __________. I am a constituent, and my zip code is _______. I am a member of Indivisible SF.
I urge you to pass big, bold, green infrastructure plans that invest in America’s future and working class families. Pass legislation that creates an economy that works for us all, funded by requiring corporations and the wealthy to pay their fair share of taxes. I urge you to not compromise on Republican demands such as funding infrastructure through tolls, increased gas taxes, and user-fees which disproportionately harm low- and middle-income families. Since McConnell has sworn that Republicans will never support our infrastructure plans, do not reduce or water them down in a futile attempt at bipartisanship.
Background
The American Jobs Plan and American Families Plan will create millions of good paying jobs rebuilding roads and bridges; creating a clean energy economy; investing in public education; making healthcare, childcare and housing more affordable; and helping small businesses recover. They will create an economy that works for all of us by requiring corporations and the wealthy to pay their fair share of taxes. They will not raise income taxes on anyone making less than $400,000 a year.

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.
