make these calls daily to save democracy
You asked what we can do to save our democracy.
Well, here's your answer. Make calls. Not once, not twice, not even three times, make them every day. Make it a ritual. Pick a time of day, maybe it's when you're having your morning coffee or tea or some other time of day that works for you. Whenever it is make these calls to your Senators. Yes, we're in a blue state, but they still need to hear your voice. And call Senator Schumer too. Demand they fight for our democracy. It's hanging on by a thread and they have to start acting like that's what's happening. Your scripts are below.
Now, please get to the phones.

Senator Feinstein

- Hi! I’m a constituent and my zip code is ________.
- I’m a member of [any groups you’re affiliated with, like Indivisible or the Working Families Party].
- I want to thank Senator Feinstein for being such a staunch supporter of S. 1.
- The Senator needs to speak out NOW and reiterate her strong support of the For the People Act. As Senator Schumer has stated, "Failure is not an option," on this historic legislation. There is overwhelming grassroots support for the democracy reform embodied in S.1 and I am holding the Senator accountable to get it done without letting Senators Manchin or Sinema, or the filibuster, get in the way.
- I very much appreciate that Senator Feinstein has recently shown openness to reforming the filibuster! We absolutely must pass the For the People Act and we know that McConnell will block it with the filibuster unless it is radically reformed or eliminated. I want Senator Feinstein to fight to abolish the filibuster. At the very least, I hope that she will fight to abolish it for legislation related to voting rights (like S. 1).
- In March, Sen. Feinstein put out a statement about her openness to filibuster reform if we can’t pass critical bills with bipartisan support. I want to make sure she is standing by that statement. Is she?
- I urge the Senator to stick to her commitment to democracy and to vote to amend or eliminate the filibuster in order to pass the For the People Act.
- Republicans have made their bad faith very clear by filibustering the Jan 6 Commission. It’s time to abolish the filibuster NOW.

- Hi! I’m a constituent and my zip code is ________.
- I’m a member of [any groups you’re affiliated with, like Indivisible or the Working Families Party].
- I want to thank Senator Padilla for supporting the For the People Act, and for standing up against the filibuster. I want him to keep speaking out, and to do everything he can to convince Senator Feinstein and other Senators to support abolishing the filibuster.
- The Senator needs to speak out NOW and reiterate his strong support of the For the People Act. As Senator Schumer has stated, "Failure is not an option," on this historic legislation. There is overwhelming grassroots support for the democracy reform embodied in S.1 and I am holding the Senator accountable to get it done without letting Senators Manchin or Sinema, or the filibuster, get in the way.
- Republicans have made their bad faith very clear by filibustering the Jan 6 Commission. It’s time to abolish the filibuster NOW.

- Republicans have made their bad faith very clear by filibustering the Jan 6 Commission. It’s time to abolish the filibuster NOW.
