ACTION ALERT!
Not everyone can knock doors, not everyone is comfortable putting out yard signs, not everyone has money to spare to donate. But everyone has the ability to pick up the phone and call our elected officials to let them know how you feel about their policies and the votes they make.
If everyone who reads this would make these phone calls, that would mean Risch, Crapo, Simpson and Fulcher’s offices would receive thousands of calls every day!
The simplest way is by using 5 Calls app. You can choose the subject you want to talk about and there's a script to help guide you. It’s effective, efficient and we encourage everyone, but especially those of you who can do nothing else, to do this.

Dear Congressmember,
I am writing to urge you to support the USPS, a 250 year old institution that enjoys the highest approval rating of any government agency.
Americans trust this agency with all types of mail, including our mail-in ballots. Do not allow the current administration to interfere with this important service, especially during election years.
Thank you for your service and your attention to this very important matter.

Stop the Chaco Canyon Drilling
14 days to stop the destruction of one of America's most sacred cultural and historical sites. Trump wants to obliterate Chaco Canyon for oil and gas drilling, sacrificing thousands of years of history. Submit a public comment and share this post far and wide. eplanning.blm.gov/Project-Home...
Get the Flock Out!
Flock is in more than 5,000 communities and has a goal of building a nationwide network of mass surveillance. Its Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) is generating over 20 billion vehicle tracking plate scans EVERY MONTH.
And that data is being retained and shared across Flock’s massive network, including sharing this data overseas where it is not protected by our laws or Constitution.
We need states to adopt guardrails to protect our residents’ civil rights and liberties.
Type a message that will be sent to your representatives.
Turning Point USA in Idaho Schools
Send a Message!
Dear Governor Little,
I am writing to express concern about your recent proclamation encouraging students to form “Club America” chapters in Idaho schools.
For years, your administration has emphasized keeping political ideology out of education in the name of neutrality. This action appears inconsistent with that position.
Promoting a specific, overtly ideological organization — even as an extracurricular activity — blurs the line your office has worked to draw.
If neutrality is the goal, it must be applied consistently. Encouraging one political viewpoint while restricting others undermines public trust and raises serious concerns about fairness.
I urge you to clarify how this aligns with your commitment to keeping politics out of schools.
Sincerely,
Safe Bathroom Project
Trans Affirm is building a Safe Bathroom List to add to their website resources in response to the new Idaho legislation that criminalizes trans people for using restrooms that align with their identity. Allies can contribute as well, but please be thoughtful and specific.

Sign a Petition Demanding an Investigation
On Tuesday morning, an ICE officer shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a 52-year-old father of three, in Houston’s Magnolia Park neighborhood while he was driving workers to a construction job. ICE says he “weaponized his vehicle.”
His family says he lived in Houston for 35 years and would have complied with any lawful stop, and witness photos reviewed by LULAC (League of United Latin American Citizens) appear to show a van with no visible damage.
This is at least the eighth death in this administration’s immigration enforcement campaign, and in case after case, video has later contradicted the government’s first story.
And to make matters worse, the three eyewitnesses who were in Lorenzo’s van, including his brother, are now in ICE custody at an undisclosed location, and his family fears they will be deported before they can even testify.
You can sign the petition, support his family, and demand an independent investigation right now.
