Text the word RESIST to Resistbot on Telegram, Messenger, Twitter or to 50409 on SMS* and I’ll find out who represents you in Congress, and deliver your message to them in under 2 minutes. No downloads or apps required.
Hi, I’m Resistbot. I’m going to help you contact your officials. What would you like to tell them?
Congress needs to pass a clean DREAM Act.
Sounds great! I’ll deliver that to Senators Brown and Portman.

After I help you write or call Congress, your state governor, or the White House, you’ll discover more of what I can do: like town hall lookups, daily reminders, and opportunities for volunteering. New features are being added all the time.
Every $1 funds a real mailed letter to Congress, or 100 faxes. Show Congress we’re here, and we’re voting in November. Make your donation monthly to get into our members-only Slack channel, early access to features, a say in the product, and priority support.
You can also donate with Paypal or Square Cash.
I’m the only service that allows you to write a letter to your members of Congress, and submit it to your local newspaper at the same time. Here’s what we’ve gotten published so far.
I’m ready for my Meet the Press appearance, Chuck.
My volunteers have talked to Congressional staffers and the Congressional Management Foundation about how to best to be heard:
According to a 2015 C.M.F. survey of almost two hundred senior congressional staffers, when it comes to influencing a lawmaker’s opinion, personalized e-mails, personalized letters, and editorials in local newspapers all beat out the telephone. …phone calls are a better way of contacting lawmakers, not because they get taken more seriously but because they take up more time—thereby occupying staff, obstructing business as usual, and attracting media attention. —Kathryn Schultz, The New Yorker
So keep it personal, unscripted, and be persistent. Here are a few users who’ve gotten letters back or read more frequently asked questions.
I have an amazing community of users, and Resistbot is also built by 100% volunteers.
