#call script

Some 5calls campaigns to use in your day to bring real progress and hold your congress and reps accountable. Remember that calling about these issues is the best way you can make an impact, emails/fax/letters and so on shouldn't be completely disregarded, but calling is your most effective way to make your voices heard. They may not exactly "agree" with you, but you can sure as hell pressure them! Remember that it IS your RIGHT to make your voice heard on these issues.

Please call your senators about it and tell them not to support the bill.

For a basic script, use this (feel free to add a bit about it being super racist if you have a senator who will be receptive to that)

Hi. I'm calling today from [state your person represents] as a constituent of [name of your person]. I heard about HR 29, or the Laken Riley Act, and was calling to express my deep concern for it, as it would seriously harm [name of your person]'s constituents in my community, by forcing law enforcement to go ahead with detentions they deem unnecessary, which would waste [name for people who live in your state]'s tax dollars. Because of this, I'm calling on [him/her] to vote NO when the bill comes to a floor vote. (They'll say that they'll pass it along) Thank you, I appreciate that. Have a good day. *hang up*

"Hello, *my name is [your name]. I am a constituent of [congressperson], and I am calling to inform you about the numerous genocides happening worldwide. At this point in time, you are likely already aware of the genocide of Palestinian and Ukranian people, but there are many more genocides happening in the world, and the overlooking of such happenings, while innocents continue to suffer, must end.

Currently, Congolese, Armenian, Tigrayan, Yemeni, Guatemalan, Rohingya, Haitian, Native American, Kashmiri, Kurd, Sudanese, Ukrainian, Palestinian, Argentinian, Afghan, Moroccan, Libyan, Syrian, Lebanese, West Papuan, Cameroonian, Burmese, Uyghurs, Iraqi, Somali, Hawai’ian, Puerto Rican, Senegalese, Kenyan, Ethiopian, Cuban and many more people are experiencing genocide (or close risk of it, according to genocidewatch.com), along with ethnic cleansing, displacement, restrictions on living necessities, and the like. Also currently, the United States government continues to be not only complicit, but supportive of these attacks out of ignorance and selfish benefit.

 In order to maintain current support, it is dire that you take action on the side of the people. Please do research on each and take a look into doing whatever possible to save the innocent people around the world from living a life of constant abuse and murder. 

 Some things you can do, for example, include: 

- Calling for (or implementing):

The appointment of special envoys

A reversal of the funding cuts to UNRWA

An increase in funding to and the development of NGOs providing humanitarian aid

A permanent and immediate ceasefire for relevant locations (such as Gaza)

- Voting NO on the supplemental funding package to send more weapons to Israel (if you are in the position to do so)

Thank you for your time. I trust that you will do what you would want other countries to do for us."

*before adding your name, check to see if your congressperson requires it. if not, dont give more information than required.
