Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

Just write a strongly worded letter to the ghouls in training that staff your rep’s office!! They’re gonna get right on it

And I realize this is nothing new, but it feels like I’ve been seeing it more than usual recently. It’s driving me a bit crazy lol

there have been a few bills shut down alongside mass public outcry.

your rep has to be amenable to the demand to begin with.

even then it won't work for every issue

it requires hundreds of calls per rep

the effort to return ratio is probably pretty good, actually because leaving a voicemail is mechanically very easy. just don't confuse it with real organizing or direct action. ~~mamdani~~ calling your congressman isn't the revolution and nobody thinks it is.
