Thank Our Senators for standing with DREAMers

Hello! My name is ___ and I’m calling from [zip code].

I wanted to thank the senator for voting against the continuing resolution that didn’t include the Dream Act. I expect that the senator will continue to be a champion for Dreamers by voting against the upcoming continuing resolution on February 8. With the administration threatening to deport Dreamers en masse after DACA ends on March 5, and tens of thousands of Dreamers already at risk, there is no excuse for the senator to enable this by voting for a CR that doesn’t protect Dreamers.

Tell Rep. Garamendi that he should be ashamed of abandoning DREAMers

Hello! My name is ___ and I’m calling from [zip code].

I am very disappointed Rep. Garamendi changed his vote from Friday to Monday and voted for the CR that didn’t include the Dream Act. Dreamers deserve MoCs who will stand with them and use their vote to protect them from the Trump deportation machine.

Rep. Garamendi can only end his complicity in Trump’s racist policies by demanding a vote on the Dream Act now. With the administration threatening to deport Dreamers en masse after DACA ends on March 5, and tens of thousands of Dreamers already at risk, there is no excuse to enable this by voting for a CR that doesn’t protect Dreamers.

Tell all MoC’s to defend the census

Hi, my name is _______ and I’m a constituent from zip code______ and a member of Indivisible. I’m calling to ask MoC to insist that the 2020 Census not include a question about the respondent’s citizenship.

The Census count is used to determine representation in Congress. An inaccurate count will result in unfair representation, which is exactly why Republicans are trying to scare off respondents by inserting a question asking if they are citizens. The GOP can’t win elections fairly and they’re determined to cheat instead. They must be stopped.

Will MoC demand that the citizenship question be stripped from the Census?

Thank you!
