Take Action with Voters Not Politicians
Activists across the political spectrum can all agree that picking up the phone and calling your elected officials is one of the most effective ways to make your voice heard. In fact, many elected officials and their staff members have stated that a phone call from a constituent holds more weight than an email, tweet, or a fax.

Current Dial For Democracy Priorities
Protecting Voting Rights:
Anti-voter lawmakers in both the Michigan House and the US House have introduced legislation to restrict the ability of eligible American citizens to register to vote by introducing oppressive new identification requirements.
HJR B (Michigan) and SAVE Act/H.R. 22 (Federal) would require documentary proof of citizenship, creating chaos in Michigan elections while blocking eligible Michigan voters from voting. It is estimated that nearly 6 million Michigan voters do not have a current passport, and 2.2 million Michigan women do not have a birth certificate with their legal married name on it. Millions of Michiganders voted to make voter registration and elections more accessible for eligible Michigan citizens in 2018 and 2022. We can not allow Washington D.C. politics and intentional election fearmongering to take over our state’s elections and disenfranchise Michigan voters.
Goal: 500 calls to protect voting rights in the next two weeks! Will you help us reach this goal?
Protesting Illegal Power Grabs:
Under the current presidential administration, an unelected, unconfirmed, and unaccountable billionaire is actively working to bypass and undermine the rules of our democracy to carry out a political agenda. Replacing our constitutionally required system of decision making with the whims of an unelected billionaire is dangerous and anti-democratic.
We cannot stand silently by while extremists do an end run around Congress to dismantle our federal government and undermine our democracy.
Goal: 250 calls to protest anti-democratic power grabs in our federal government in the next two weeks! Will you help us reach this goal?
