Call Script
My name is __________. I am a constituent, and my zip code is _______. I am a member of Indivisible SF.
For your Members of Congress
I want [the Representative/the Senator] to support the Biden Administration’s proposal for additional emergency funding, and to finish the job of funding the government generally.
For President Biden
I support your $100 billion emergency funding request and your call for Congress to finish the job of funding the government.
Background
On Friday, the Biden Administration sent to Congress a request for $100 billion in emergency funding. The Director of the Office of Management and Budget, Shalanda Young, said to reporters:
The world is watching and the American people rightly expect their leaders to come together and deliver on these priorities, and I urge Congress to address them as part of a comprehensive, bipartisan agreement in the weeks ahead.
We don’t necessarily agree with everything in this funding package. The Hill has a detailed inventory; there are things in there we support, things we don’t, and things on which we’re divided.
On balance, we support more of this funding package than we oppose. Moreover, we support funding the important work of government—and for a superpower like the United States, helping out where we can is part of that work.
The MAGA Republican chaos-agents who are holding the government on a collision course with shutdown (time remaining: 24 days as of Wednesday, October 25) appreciate that the nation’s attention is fixed on their clown-show. We need to turn that attention away from their political theater and toward the important work that won’t get done if the government shuts down. There’s a lot domestically, but our responsibilities abroad are also included in that.

Trump/Musk have been furiously slashing and gutting the federal government so that they can extend Trump's 2017 tax-cuts-for-the-wealthy before they expire at the end of this year. Tell your Senators and Representative to defend Social Security against Trump and Musk

“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” – Martin Luther King.
Today we are confronted with the most dangerous political-constitutional crisis since the depths of the Great Depression of the 1930s and the rise of domestic fascism. And if Trump/Musk are not stopped, American democracy will face the gravest threat since the slave-holder rebellion of the Civil War.

H.R.22 will disenfranchise millions and hurt millions more. Tell your Representative to vote NO!
H.R.32 could potentially cut federal funding to schools, hospitals, homeless shelters, and transportation systems in more than two dozen states deemed "sanctuaries."
On Monday, wannabe-king Trump issued an unconstitutional decree through his Office of Management and Budget (OMB) halting a wide swath of federal non-defense funding for an indefinite period. This is an assertion of illegal powers to seize money that Congress has already legally directed to be spent for health, safety, education, research, housing, disaster relief, small business loans, and a wide range of other public needs.
