Indivisible has launched a campaign to get people to physically visit their representatives this week: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Cru6DBkH5gadq3S-mVhiSU72mC2ZeDHXG93jeiemFH0/edit?tab=t.0 Recording of the Indivisible/Working Families/Move On call from yesterday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55yf3AstpQI You&#39;re not into electoral anything, ever? Cool, there&#39;s mutual aid work in your community that needs help. And food banks and libraries and school boards. Archive projects. Foster kids. https://protectdemocracy.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/How-You-Can-Protect-Democracy.pdf #uspol

I cannot make a bespoke action plan for your exact situation, but if you feel like what you're doing is pointless, there are options. If you need to yell about how frustrated you feel, I respect that! (Perhaps consider my well-honed spiritual practice of Hollering Into A Tree or the classic urban alternative, Bellowing Down That Storm Drain.) Many of us are working with stark limitations of all kinds. But most people can do *something*, and in my experience, when we do it often helps. #uspol

@kissane@mas.to What A Great Idea ! I can't believe I didn't think of this. All my reps are #democrats but they still need to get a sense of urgency. If you have #republican #congress people it would be even more effective, although they are likely to be unwelcoming.

@kissane@mas.to This is helpful! I know my folks are on board but do they have that sense of urgency? I don't know and I should check. Thanks for the nudge.
