This column shares contact info, calls for action and excellent resources needed to defend our values.
In the upcoming two weeks, our laser focus must be stopping “TrumpCare.” With the delay due to McCain’s surgery (irony not lost here), we have more time to make our voices heard.
The National Indivisible is encouraging Indivisible groups to plan visits to as many of their Senators’ in-state offices as they can around the state. Statewide will be the gold standard. We’ll be sharing stories, being as visible as possible and leaving behind photos and stories of people impacted by TrumpCare for them to remember when they vote. Beyond that, we’re encouraging groups to be visible outside the offices however they can. Bring whatever clothing, props and signage you believe work best for your group. This action will mirror similar events happening in DC at the key Senators’ Capitol Hill offices.
Continue to call or email our supportive senators, Cardin and Van Hollen (contact info below). They need numbers to show that their constituents oppose this awful bill even if they are also opposed.

Make Calls. Calling your senators and representatives is one of the most effective ways to have an impact on their decisions. Choose what you’d like to call about, and then follow our step-by-step guide to make your voice heard.
This phone app will record a voice message anytime, anywhere. Stance will send it directly to your representative’s phone.
