Congressional staff members have confirmed that calls to Senators and Congress-members from their constituents have the greatest impact in their decision making. Join us to make calls to voters in Tennessee and Arizona to ask them to call Senators Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker (Tenn) or Jeff Flake and John McCain (Az), and let them know to vote No on the repeal of ACA.

Women’s March Bay Area Last weekend, women, men, and children — showed up in record numbers. Here in the Bay Area, more than 200,000 showed up to march alongside millions of others across the country and the globe to say YES to the reality “we’re all in this together” and NO to Donald Trump’s “alternative facts” that he seems intent on imposing on the rest of us.
Local visits to our local Representatives:
Local focus – employing constituent power by visiting our Reps every week on Tuesday, on a regular basis, to watch and hold them accountable. #ResistTrumpTuesdays. We need this tactic more than ever in the first 100 days of this administration.
This week over 28 constituents visited Rep. Mark DeSaulnier’s district office to voice our support for ACA, and to let him know we have the skills, resources, and community to support him, if he takes bold leadership and works harder for our Democratic values.
Know how your local congressmen/women are voting and hold them accountable. “Countable” is an app to better understand what bills are being debated and make it easier to pester your representatives. Check it out and download #CommitToFlip #IndivibleGuide #SwampCabinet
