What Can I Do>

What Can I Do?

  • Nationally: Contact your two senators and House member. Insist that they oppose unauthorized expansion of the Iran war and insist that Congress—not the president alone—authorize continued military action. Want help to do so? Indivisible has a handy form for this.

  • Locally: Do voter registration work. Not just political messaging. This may be the highest-value thing local groups can physically accomplish this week. Spend one hour writing postcards, texting friends, or talking with people in the community about registration. The important shift is: Don’t just tell people who to vote for. Help people get ready to vote. Idea: find postcard writing events near you on our events list.
