Got it, here’s your letter:

The U.S. Postal Service’s 10-year plan, led by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, raises significant concerns. The proposed consolidation of mail sorting and delivery into regional centers threatens smaller post offices with potential closure or reduced hours. This lack of transparency and resistance…

You don’t have to find your representatives first, Resistbot will do it for you. It can even write your letter from a bill number or news article, or you can type a letter yourself.

Raise your hand if you would rather go get a cavity filled than make four calls and leave four voicemails… thank goodness there is a better way.

Create Your Own Campaigns in Minutes

Any letter you text in can be turned into a campaign that can drive millions of emails, faxes, or first-class mail to every member of Congress or state lawmaker, not just your own. Unlike typical petitions, Resistbot delivers letters to each signer’s officials instantly, you don’t have to deliver yourself. With effort, they grow quickly!

Diagram of how Resistbot campaigns grow to create more signers and more deliveries over time
  1. Campaigns start with announcement texts to your followers
  2. Each sign drives letters to their officials
  3. Signers fund texts to members, share the campaign & invite others
  4. Signers follow you and are texted when your next campaign starts
Resistbot has an unparalleled and unprecedented power to move thousands upon thousands of people to action — instantly.
Ben Wikler, Chair of Wisc. Democratic Party
The final count of constituents who sent an email to their state legislator was close to 146,000, and we wouldn’t have been anywhere close to that were it not for your efforts… This campaign would not [have been] possible without Resistbot.
Kit Wu, The movement to repeal 50-a in N.Y.

Text Check to Resistbot and we will protect your registration, for free, as long as we stay online. This feature launched in 2018 and we’re still the only organization that does it, in the face of endless voter roll purges across the country.

Not only will Resistbot check your voter registration… once they have confirmed you are registered to vote they will check it once a month to make sure that you are not purged from the voter rolls and if anything changes they will send you a text… I think everyone should use it.
Jess Craven, Chop Wood, Carry Water
