INFlUENCE GOP REPS
Influencing just a handful of Republicans could save healthcare for millions of Americans, and we have several ways for volunteers to encourage constituent calls into GOP Reps’ offices around this issue. You can directly contact constituents in these districts via phonebanks hosted by the California Democratic Party (CADEM). Activate America offers a postcarding campaign with a similar message. This is a crucial opportunity for those of us in blue districts to help move the needle on legislative outcomes. The Republicans' narrow majority means a loss of just a few votes could make a difference.
PHONEBANKS:
CADEM Is offering highly impactful phonebanks which focus on three California congressional districts held by Republicans. Volunteers ask voters to contact their representatives to urge them to vote NO on proposed healthcare cuts. These short-term phonebanks will be held multiple times a day from March 10th through May 30th, and training will be provided. Please sign up for as many phonebanks as possible!
POSTCARDING:
Activate America is offering an accountability campaign focused on CA-22 which targets GOP Representative David Valadao’s support for cutting Medi-Cal (California’s Medicaid program). Sixty-seven percent of the residents in CA-22 receive Medi-Cal support, the most of any congressional district in the country. You can request addresses online or attend one of our in-person writing events listed below: The mailing deadline is May 15th. Similar campaigns are available in CA-40 targeting Rep. Young Kim, CA-41 targeting Rep. Ken Calvert, and Ohio targeting Senator Jon Husted.
Local in-person postcard writing with Indivisible Marin: We are writing into CA-22 at these events.
Nothing will change if we only sing to the choir. We must influence Republicans! Take this opportunity to influence Republican representatives by signing up for these phonebanks and ensure that the most vulnerable among us will continue to receive the healthcare they deserve.
