What you can do the week of April 1
🗓️ Join Indivisible Twin Cities, 50501MN and Women's March MN for the Hands Off! protest this Saturday, April 5, 12–2:00 p.m. at the State Capitol. Get more information and RSVP here.
Note: For more information on your protest rights and safety, attend the St. Croix Valley Indivisible virtual community event on Wednesday, April 2nd, 6:30–8:30pm. Register to attend online.
👉 Do protests matter? Yes. Here are a few recent articles that explain why and how:
The New Republic: “Fighting Back: A Citizen’s Guide to Resistance”
Foreign Affairs: “How To Save a Democracy”
☎️ Call your Members of Congress every day. These calls should only take about 2-3 minutes each! Be sure to give your full name, location, and zip code every time you call.
5 calls is a great app that automates these calls to make things even easier!
• Amy Klobuchar – DC: (202) 224-3244, MN: (612) 727-5220
• Tina Smith – DC: (202) 224-5641, MN: (651) 221-1016
Thank Tina and Amy for joining Cory Booker’s filibuster and ask them to do EVERY SINGLE LEGAL THING possible moving forward to obstruct the Trump/Musk agenda.
• Betty McCollum – (202) 225-6631, St. Paul: (651) 224-9191
Ask Betty to continue to push for investigations and transparency around Signal-gate. As the top Dem on the Defense Subcommittee, she has lots of power even though Dems are in the minority. Ask her to call to subpoena witnesses and custodians of records, call for witness requests, and form a minority panel if/when the GOP refuses to hold official hearings.
