Feeling like you can make a difference can be hard, especially when you live in a small town away from all the action. Being young and having your voice heard is a challenge no matter what, but when it comes to politics it feels almost impossible to help change your country.
5 Calls is an organization that allows you to call up your local representatives and tell them exactly how you feel about a certain issue. All you do is enter your zip code, and a list with all different kinds of subjects will pop up.
Once choosing a topic, you can read a short description about how the government is dealing with the problem.
A name of your local representative, their phone number and the reason for calling them specifically will be provided for you.
In some cases you might even find that there are more than one representatives you can talk to. All you have to do is make the call, read the script and let your voice be heard.
Calling has proven to be more efficient than writing, as soon as you make that call your stance will be recorded and then reported monthly. If enough people feel strongly about a certain topic, it’s impossible for the staff to ignore its significance. Whether you’re in a big city or small town you can make your opinion heard. So find an active issue you want to see fixed and call up your local rep.
