A new app - 5 Calls

A new app - 5 Calls

There is a new app that we highly recommend called 5 calls.

5 Calls is a civic engagement app designed to make political activism simple and effective by helping users contact their elected representatives about important issues. The app provides users with:

  • Curated Issues: A list of current political topics that need action, including climate change, healthcare, voting rights, and more.
  • Contact Information: Automatically identifies the user's representatives based on their location and provides their phone numbers.
  • Call Scripts: Easy-to-follow scripts that outline key points for voicing concerns, making calls more effective and reducing anxiety.
  • Tracking & Impact: Users can log their calls, see how many others are calling, and track the effectiveness of collective action.

The goal of 5 Calls is to encourage people to engage with their government by making just five calls a day, leveraging the fact that phone calls to lawmakers have a greater impact than emails or social media messages.

The app can be downloaded from both the Android and IOS app stores.
