INSTRUCTIONS: See You Next Tuesday Activism
- Start by bookmarking this page so you can come back to it easily.
- Click here to add your name and pick your day of week. It’s ok if more than 1 person signs up for the same day, but ideally it would be great if we had at least one person for each day of the week (including weekends). Be sure to set a calendar reminder so you don’t forget.
- Click here to see your action item for your day of the week. If a priority item is listed, that’s because that item is time sensitive, or pertinent to developing events. I will update as often as I can, but if your day is blank, then please pick what you would like to do on your own.
- Click here to find the names of your representatives.
- Click here to find a sample script for the subject of your action item (or to pick a subject that interests you). You can select your representatives from a dropdown and download a copy of your script or print it out (don’t freak out if it changes – this is a shared document and will change each time someone uses it and selects the representative – just click on the dropdown menu to choose the proper representative for you). PLEASE DO NOT EDIT ANYTHING ELSE IN THE DOCUMENT – MAKE A DUPLICATE COPY FOR YOURSELF AND EDIT THAT VERSION IF NEEDED. If you feel we need to make a change to the original script, please send me your suggested edit.
- Click here to leave a follow up note about the action you took. This helps all of us stay informed.
NOTES:
- Calls are best!! Calling after hours and leaving a message will work (if you’re shy), but speaking to someone directly has the most impact and is more likely to be tallied.
- In-Person is also best!! Visiting offices during visitor hours and sharing your thoughts is very, very effective. And showing up in large numbers to town halls is impactful – even if it is an event hosted by a representative who is doing the right thing.
- Sending a fax (if available) is effective, as is sending a postcard or letter – but not as effective as calling or going in-person.
- The sample scripts are guides, feel free to personalize as you see fit. You can copy and paste the script into your own editing document and customize as you see fit.
- If you need additional information on the subject you are focusing on, see the links next to the Sample Script, or go here for a list of interesting links and info. I will add more links to that tab as time goes on, and you are welcome to add links, too.
- Be sure to check the calendar for in-person events – let’s try to go to as many of these as we can. Please feel free to add events to this calendar.
- Looking for additional action items that are more “miscellaneous” in nature? Then check out this list, and please feel free to add to this.
