I know your first impulse is to despair. To say we’re fucked. To feel desperate and hopeless. I feel it. We all feel it.

But Notorious RBG would not have wanted us to lie down and accept defeat.

She’d have wanted us to fight like hell. And that’s what we’re going to do.

Call your house rep: Find them by Zipcode

Script: “Hi, my name is ____ I am one of your constituents. I am calling to ask Congressperson ______ to go on the record saying they will respect Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s dying wishes as well as the precedent set in 2016 to not nominate a new Justice until after a new president is installed. Thanks for your time.”

Call your senator: (202) 224-3121 Capitol Switchboard
Don’t know who your senator is? Find your senator

Script: “Hi, my name is ________ and I live in (STATE). I am calling to ask Senator ______ to go on the record saying the Senate will not hold hearings on any potential replacement for Justice Ginsburg until after a new president is installed, per Justice Ginsburg’s last wishes and the precedent set in 2016. Thank you for your time.”

US senate donation options (and others!)

[teaotter]

If you're in the US and looking for a way to donate to take back the senate, some options:

Get Mitch or Die Trying, set up by Pod Save America. It lets you donate to 13 senate seats at the same time, including two vulnerable seats held by Democrats. (The default splits it evenly among them, but you can change that if you want to.)

Seats: Colorado, Maine, North Carolina, Montana, Iowa, Georgia x2, Alabama, Michigan, Alaska, South Carolina, Texas, Kansas

Retake the Senate donates to pretty much everybody, regardless of whether they're already well-funded or whether they have a shot at winning. Again, you can split it up yourself or let it split your money evenly.

DSCC - if you'd rather donate to the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee and let them send the money to campaigns.

ETA: And if you'd like to help re-take state legislatures to stop Republican gerrymandering, Impact Slates has several options, including their Top Ten Races, as well as state-specific ones for Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Texas.

offer to pay postage

My hands aren't up to writing any more postcards to voters. If anyone else has stopped because you can't afford more stamps, let me know and I'll send you some money.

(If/when it feels like I've spent enough on this, I'll edit this post to say so.)

DM me if that's more comfortable than commenting where other people can see it.
