People are asking for specifics. HOW to best make noise. Call their senators? Take to the streets? Flaming poop bags at Mar a Lago? If someone has 15 min a day, what do they do with it?

My question exactly. I am limited physically, and all my legislators are Dem. Do they really need encouragement? But I am fast on a keyboard. Aim me somewhere I can make a difference. I've got friends in the same boat and we know how to coordinate.
On the Indivisible call this week, Eliz Warren said *do* push your Dem reps. They fight harder when they know their constituents are paying attention. She said get them to fight on everything when they are in the minority.
What can we do if we are not represented by Dems? I’m out here south of Chicago in a sea of red and those of us ‘blue folk’ have no idea what to do or where to turn. It’s frustrating but I’m ready to march!
Still tell them part of our mess is we the voters didn't keep after our employees. They got bought up by corporations. But they only work if we vote for them. If we are loud enough they will cave.
I attended the first Indivisible meeting in my city yesterday. Great info on how to be active right now, from home. Download the 5 Calls app on your phone. We learned that Dem reps need to be pushed too — makes them fight harder when they know their constituents are interested/concerned about an issue. And GOP reps, even when hearing from Dem constituents, get the same message. They have to get reelected too.
We need a more robust 24/7/365 pro-democracy media we discussed yesterday, but we also need a more aggressive Democratic Party-led strategy to engage Democratic voters in all 50 states to drive turnout in every election, in every state. The Democratic Party and our Presidential campaigns have to be more than just 7 battleground states.
Very well stated - great input that we need to put into action. Local races are just as important - and are what really influences our daily lives. Start the momentum - get involved.
I live in deep red Nebraska. I desperately want to do something, ANYTHING helpful. I just don’t know what that is. I spent more money on this election than the entirety of my voting life previously. I don’t have a lot to give in the best times. My senators and representatives do not listen. I write them, and get form letters back if I get any response at all.
But they are getting your voice! It matters. I am in a red area in a blue state. My voice is mostly drowned out, but that has been changing the last few weeks because of the administration's idiocy. More people are talking. I try to get them to call when we talk at the store, coffee shop,laundromat.
Call all the republican representatives in your state. Tell them. Write the Supreme Court and tell them how you think about their foolishness. Post how your representatives vote on the issues.

OK that's great to know, thanks! We have a whole team here well practiced in writing the Congress critters. We'll get on that. Especially Senators.

I always make it very clear I'm an independent voter. Earn my damn vote already. Sheesh
Yes there must be clear path worked out. Perhaps later a national vote no electors
Once we get through this crisis this is definitely an amendment we have to push.
