Every day, sometimes even several times a day, the media reports new policies before or drama in Congress. It’s hard to keep up. And it’s hard to decide what to do when the easier thing is to settle into information and decision overload.
5 Calls is one way to bypass this overload. Once you’ve decided to call your congressman or senator, you’re halfway there. 5 Calls identifies the most pressing issues/votes/hearings of the day, researches and summarizes each issue, determines your elected officials and presents their contact information, and provides a script.
5 Calls makes advocacy manageable. Try using it to take action on the many issues raised at the June 18 Dems meeting. Then, share your successes, challenges, and questions in the NCDC Facebook group.
