Today, we transform our phones into tools of democratic pressure. When ICE raids tear families apart, when benefit cuts leave neighbors hungry, when anti-trans legislation threatens our community members, we need immediate access to the people who claim to represent us.

Your grief for democracy under attack becomes actionable power when you can reach your representatives in moments, not after fumbling through websites. Every contact saved is preparation for the sustained response our movement requires.

Today's Action: Program your representatives into your phone contacts

• Senator Gary Peters - DC: (202) 224-6221, Traverse City: (231) 947-7773

• Senator Elissa Slotkin - DC: (202) 224-3293, Traverse City: (231) 929-1031

• Rep. Jack Bergman - DC: (202) 225-4735, Traverse City: (231) 944-7633

• Add your state legislators - find them at legislature.mi.gov using your address

• Download the 5calls.org app for convenient calling scripts on current issues that matter to you

This preparation matters because collective pressure works. When we flood congressional offices with coordinated calls, when we make it impossible for representatives to ignore constituent demands, we shift the political landscape. Your saved contacts become weapons against voter suppression, immigrant detention, and corporate capture of our democracy.

Your grief for communities under siege connects you to every person who's ever had to call their representative begging for their family's safety, their healthcare, their basic dignity. It may seem simple, but saving these numbers to your phone connects you to a network of resistance that refuses to let elected officials govern without accountability.
