Call Your Reps...Stop the Anti-Vaccine Takeover of the CDC
Background
The Trump administration is continuing to undermine public health and scientific integrity by firing Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Susan Monarez. Monarez was ousted for refusing to further decimate the CDC’s workforce and rubber stamp anti-vaccination extremists’ misinformation about lifesaving vaccines. Multiple other senior CDC officials left their positions in response to Monarez’s attempted firing, warning of the dire threats posed by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s attacks on vaccine access and science more broadly.
Kennedy’s campaign against public health and vaccines, which have saved at least 154 million lives over the past 50 years, is a fundamental threat to the health and wellbeing of everyone in the United States. Congress must launch immediate investigations into the politicization of the CDC. They must also demand Kennedy’s resignation and an indefinite hold on further meetings of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), a once-prestigious advisory panel now filled with Kennedy’s hand-picked anti-vaccine conspiracy theorists.
The CDC’s scientific integrity and access to safe, routine vaccinations are not partisan issues. Congress cannot sit idly by as Kennedy and his cronies decimate our nation’s public health infrastructure.
Script
Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from (your town).
I’m calling to express my deep outrage over the politicization of the CDC. Anti-vaccine sentiment is deadly and has no place in our nation's public health agency. I ask that Senator/Congressman
[CHOOSE 1-3 options]:
investigate the firing of CDC director Monarez and the recommendations of the anti-vaccine advisory panel, (and)
call for the impeachment and removal of RFK Jr. as Secretary, (and)
call for the resignation of any HHS official who is irresponsibly promoting deadly anti-vaccination policies and restricting vaccine access.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Call Your Reps about the Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza, John Bolton FBI Raid
Background on Gaza
Update:
August 22, 2025: The Israeli government has begun a planned military assault and takeover of Gaza City while U.N.-backed global experts officially characterize Gaza’s hunger crisis as a man-made famine.
August 9, 2025: The Israeli government has approved and initiated Netanyahu’s plan to escalate attacks and occupy all of Gaza.
July 21, 2025: After multiple deadly shootings in Gaza where Israeli troops opened fired on Palestinians trying to reach U.N. aid convoys, 25 countries, including Britain and Canada, have issued a statement condemning Israel for their “drip feeding of aid and the inhumane killing of civilians.”
Despite a tentative ceasefire proposal initiated in January of 2025, the devastating war and humanitarian crisis continues in Gaza. On March 18th, the Israeli government launched surprise attacks that killed hundreds of Palestinians and multiple United Nations workers, and renewed aggressive ground operations to occupy more land. Additionally, on March 31st, Israeli troops executed 15 Palestinian medics who were clearly identified as such, buried them in a mass grave along with their ambulances, then plowed it over with military bulldozers. Israeli officials have made it clear that their primary goal is the occupation of the Gaza Strip, not the return of the hostages.
The United Nations has also sounded the alarm about Israel’s blockade of humanitarian goods and supplies into Gaza, warning that the population is now on the brink of famine. The foreign ministers of Germany, France, and the UK released a statement demanding that Israel adhere to international law and allow passage of aid to go unhindered. The Trump administration, however, has continued to support the Israeli government with offensive weapons and military equipment and has floated the idea of expelling all Palestinians from Gaza to develop the land under US ownership.
The United States cannot continue to fund and supply the Israeli government with weapons while it continues its atrocious attacks on Gaza, blocks humanitarian aid, and violates international law. Joint Resolutions of Disapproval (JRDs) to block the sale of offensive U.S. weaponry to Israel have been introduced in the House. Demand your members of Congress support this necessary restriction and pressure the Trump administration to work towards a fair and durable ceasefire deal that protects the people of Gaza.
Script:
Hi, I'm a constituent calling from [zip]. My name is ______.
First, a global hunger monitoring group has finally confirmed what we already know—that famine is present in Gaza, with 500,000 people facing "catastrophic" hunger. The US is enabling this famine through our continued complicity with the Netanyahu government, which is systematically obstructing aid deliveries. It’s unacceptable. It’s time to ratchet up the pressure and make them allow aid in. Only our country has the leverage to do this, and we absolutely must.
Also, I’m horrified that Trump has sent the FBI after John Bolton. The fact that he’s weaponizing the government against his enemies is appalling, and the fact that Congress is allowing him to do so unchallenged is even worse. Everyone should be able to trust that the government isn’t using its law enforcement powers to target them for personal reasons. I expect the Senator/Congressmember to make a strong statement to that effect. Thanks.

Call Your Reps...Resist the Escalation of ICE Raids and Detentions
BACKGROUND (5calls..org)
August 20, 2025: DHS has announced plans for more concentration camps in Nebraska, Indiana, Texas, Tennessee, and a second facility in Florida. This comes as an investigation led by US Senator Jon Ossoff (D-GA) has revealed widespread abuse of women and children in ICE custody and as reports of harrowing and inhumane conditions at “Alligator Alcatraz” continue to emerge.
With the passage of H.R. 1, Republicans in the House and Senate have handed Donald Trump and notorious xenophobe Stephen Miller $171 billion to supercharge their mass deportation operations, including $45 billion for detention centers and $30 billion for new ICE officers and transportation.ICE’s funding now exceeds the total immigration enforcement budgets of the Obama, Biden, and first Trump administrations combined. Many budget reconciliation provisions do not go into effect until 2026 or later, but ICE’s funding increase is immediate. This means:
More ICE raids in cities nationwide, with ICE agents terrorizing residents with masked abductions and violent assaults and ICE impersonators further fueling chaos and fear.
More despicably inhumane concentration camps like the facility grossly dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz” built on top of a Florida Everglades swamp.
More economic damage as farmworkers, caregivers, and other essential workers go into hiding and communities avoid public spaces out of fear.
Despite this unprecedented level of funding for ICE, the agency relies on local law enforcement for assistance. The bill includes $14 billion for local law enforcement departments to incentivize such partnerships. Both Congress and state governments must oppose the Trump administration’s push towards an authoritarian police state and protect its communities from this terrifying assault.
SCRIPT (5calls.org)
I’m calling to urge (Senator/Congressperson) to oppose the Trump administration’s attacks on immigrants and conduct public oversight investigations into the conduct of ICE agents and conditions of detention facilities. ICE raids are terrorizing communities across the country, violating due process rights, and subjecting innocent people to extremely inhumane treatment. I expect the (Senator/Congressperson) to hold this administration accountable for their authoritarian tactics.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
