This is fantastic. Cis folks would do themselves a favor by taking a few minutes and reading it. I’m fairly informed on this issue and still learned some things.

The estimate is for $15K to do the first half. She's only 1/5 of the way there, and the deadline to be out, as in GONE, is 10 days from now [10/15]. Can we get a big push, everyone sharing this? gofund.me/2ed90a936

⬇️ You know what to do.
YOU: Hi, my name is [NAME], and I’m calling from [ZIP CODE].

YOU: I’m calling on [HOUSE MEMBER/SENATOR] to publicly reject President Trump’s latest effort to relitigate the 2020 election and cast doubt on the integrity of the 2026 midterms.

YOU: Trump used a prime-time presidential address to repeat unsupported claims about election interference and voting systems.  Newly released material does not justify presenting those claims as established fact.  

YOU: Let’s be clear: Trump’s decision to do this four months before the midterms, is a clear and deliberate attempt to weaken public confidence in elections he may later seek to discredit.

YOU: Congress must not reward that strategy by advancing legislation  based on election conspiracy theories, restricting lawful access to the ballot, or giving the executive branch greater control over election administration. 

YOU: I’m asking [HOUSE MEMBER/SENATOR] to state clearly that the 2020 election was legitimate, oppose efforts to interfere with state and local election administration, and defend the counting and certification of every lawful vote in 2026. I am also asking [ELECTED] NOT support the SAVE America Act. 


YOU: [OPTIONAL COMMENTS / LET THEM KNOW IF YOU WANT FOLLOW-UP]

Someone recommended I write a clearer thread for the GFM (to help people understand why I'm sick/stressed/the need), so I hope all of you don't mind the additional context. *trigger warning, mentions of abuse* In February 2025, I was violently attacked by an ex. He was 440 pounds, I was 137.
