For the past 7 months a group of volunteers has been building and scaling out Resistbot. Almost 5 million faxes and 1 million e-mails have been sent on behalf more than 1.4 million citizens. Super easy and low friction to have your voice heard - simply text RESIST to 50409, or Resistbot on Messenger, Viber, Telegram, we will find your officials, and help you craft your letter. It's important to note that the more personalized your letter the more effective it'll become, so avoid using templatized letters.
I think at this point that isn't enough though. We need people writing handwritten letters. People actually showing up to their representative's offices and talking to them directly. People showing up to where their representatives are and protesting against those who are for this.
Then, more importantly, actually voting people out of office who support this.
You're absolutely not wrong. Resistbot has a team of volunteers who will write out, and deliver your letters. Of course, this is hard for us to scale to all of our almost 1.5 million users, but as we speak volunteers are targeting states and districts producing thousands of handwritten letters.
We're actively trying to drive for better engagement through targetted alerts regarding town halls in your area or helping you with voting ( https://resistbot.news/find-your-polling-place-620d1ea5faf7 ). Resistbot is more about helping get people engaged through low friction than be the alternative to showing up and having a face to face conversation with your officials.
