You have a right to call any senator not just your own.

There are 53 Republican Senators. We only need 4 to flip to stop this.

Call every day. Ok to call off hours and blow up their VM.

Trump had the GOP shut down the government in the middle of a health care crisis—and now he’s sending troops into American cities, including Memphis, to intimidate people and score political points.

Memphis doesn’t need an occupying force. We need real partnerships and investment in our people.
