Call Your Legislators
To call your legislators at the federal level, Michael Moore and The Huffington Post recommend using “5 Calls”. Go to https://5calls.org and download their app. You will see a list with current issues and a script to assist you in expressing your opinions on those issues. The app is an easy way to make 5 calls in five minutes.

To call/text your state legislators, the Texas Democratic Party has a process for you to become a “connected” Legislative Activist. Go to http://txdem.co/txlege and register. They will send you alerts and links to issues, scripts and phone numbers to voice your opinions on current issues, and information on when testimony on issues is being sought so that you can apply to testify at hearings. This program will also request that you take a course to improve your lobbying skills.

Other activities have included:
  • Letters to the Editor
  • Postcard and Letter writing
  • Block walking for political candidates
  • Visits to offices of elected officials
  • "Backpacks for the Border" (for asylum seekers)
