Hit em from all angles:

1. #GeneralStrike (see the West Coast port shutdown)

2. Protests in all 50 states

3. Rallies at lawmakers’ homes (a la @4aPeoplesParty)

4. Demands delivered to lawmakers’ inboxes (a la @TENDEMANDS)

5. Votes for downballot progressives (like @CoriBush)

“Our protesters are beaten, our voices unheard, our workers jobless, our hospitals full, our dead piled high, our pantries empty, our Senators complicit, our mail undelivered, their private jet soaring while our votes go uncounted” - @KaptainKaosATX
