FRIDAY RECAP: July 16th, 2021
History is made by those who show up. We save democracy by persevering. When we get tired of repeating ourselves is when others begin listening, so we must keep at it.
Today is our day to catch up on our calls. Whether you called every day or not, commit to calling one more time this week--and even more next week.
If you called every day this week, pick your favorite script and call again
If you called less, use the script from one of the days when you forgot to call
Here are the great topics from which to choose:
Monday, July 12: CALL FOR FAIR ELECTIONS AND ROBUST INFRASTRUCTURE
Tuesday, July 13: RECESS IS OVER - SAVE OUR RIGHT TO VOTE
Wednesday, July 14: INFRASTRUCTURE COLLISION AHEAD
Thursday, July 15: GOP’S WAR ON DEMOCRACY MUST BE STOPPED
It takes us calling multiple times, so pick up your phone right now, click on the link for your chosen day, and do your part to save democracy!
