KEEP VISITING YOUR SENATORS!

We are making impacts on our Senators! They are shifting (yes, too slowly) towards a more resistant stance against the Trump regime. Keep making your voice heard! We need them to STAND UP and FIGHT against this authoritarian coup. They have done a few of the right things, and are doing more, and more loudly, since people have been flooding their offices and staff. Keep up the pressure!

And yes, thank them when they do something good and right. We all need encouragement!
