I'm a New Yorker that never posts about politics but Congress is about to vote on a Farm Bill that has a provision that would nullify most most state-level animal welfare protections. This would sentence many millions of farm animals to life imprisoned in cramped cages. But luckily it's really quick and easy to help prevent this. I called the House switchboard at 202-224-3121, gave my zip code, they connected me to my rep's office. And it took one more minute to email my representatives through https://defeateats.com/take-action/ So I'm posting because I think a lot of people don't reach out to their reps because they assume it's complicated or they need to know everything about the bill. You don't. You can just say you're a constituent and you want them to vote no in under five mins. Edit: I didn't expect so many positive response so I didn't mention you can find out more on this shared google doc if you're interested in doing more. For example I hate phone calls as much as the average zoomer but it turns phone calls are weighted more heavily than emails by congressional offices, so this is the most impactful action with just a few mins. submitted by /u/dovrobalb [link] [comments]
