Congress begins its recess on 2/18 until 2/24. They'll be back in their districts. Make a point of going to visit their offices.

One More Way We Make Our Voices Heard For The Next Four Years

In regards to Twitter, Facebook, etc., I say use all but accompany them with her other suggestions. All forms of communication can help on the road to change

I worked for Congress for 6 years, and here's what I learned about how they listen to constituents.
—
Emily Ellsworth (@editoremilye) November 12, 2025

First, tweeting or writing on Facebook is largely ineffective. I never looked at those comments except to remove the harassing ones.
—
Emily Ellsworth (@editoremilye) November 12, 2025

****

Second, writing a letter to the district office (state) is better than sending an email or writing a letter to DC.
—
Emily Ellsworth (@editoremilye) November 12, 2025

But, the most effective thing is to actually call them on the phone. At their district (state) office. They have to talk to you there.
—
Emily Ellsworth (@editoremilye) November 12, 2025

****

We repped half a million people, it was impossible to read and respond personally to all letters. Impossible.
—
Emily Ellsworth (@editoremilye) November 12, 2025

This was something in particular that I cared about as a staffer and worked very hard on, but the sheer volume of emails is overwhelming
—
Emily Ellsworth (@editoremilye) November 12, 2025

****

So, we batched them with computer algorithms and sent out form letters based on topic and position. Regardless of method received.
—
Emily Ellsworth (@editoremilye) November 12, 2025

But, phone calls! That was a thing that shook up our office from time. One time, a radio host gave out our district office phone # on air.
—
Emily Ellsworth (@editoremilye) November 12, 2025

****

He was against our immigration policy and told our constituents to call. And they did. All. Day. Long. All I did all day was answer phones.
—
Emily Ellsworth (@editoremilye) November 12, 2025

It was exhausting and you can bet my bosses heard about it. We had discussions because of that call to action.
—
Emily Ellsworth (@editoremilye) November 12, 2025

****

If we started getting a pattern of calls, I called up our DC office and asked if they were getting the same calls and we talked.
—
Emily Ellsworth (@editoremilye) November 12, 2025

Also, recognize that your letters and your emails get seen by staffers, just like your phone calls get answered. That's the way of it.
—
Emily Ellsworth (@editoremilye) November 12, 2025

****

If you want to talk to your rep, show up at town hall meetings. Get a huge group that they can't ignore. Pack that place and ask questions.
—
Emily Ellsworth (@editoremilye) November 12, 2025

We held town halls consistently that fewer than 50 people showed up for. And it was always the same people. So, shake it up.
—
Emily Ellsworth (@editoremilye) November 12, 2025

****

As always, please be kind but firm with those staffers. They will listen and talk to you. I always, always did.
—
Emily Ellsworth (@editoremilye) November 12, 2025

If you run an advocacy group, invite local staffers to show up to your events. Let them talk to people you work with and set up meetings.
—
Emily Ellsworth (@editoremilye) November 12, 2025

I loved getting out of my office and meeting with advocates in immigration, healthcare, education, science, and every type of work.
—
Emily Ellsworth (@editoremilye) November 12, 2025

Invite staffers on "field trips" and show them what it's like in your communities. Show them the work you are doing. It works.
—
Emily Ellsworth (@editoremilye) November 12, 2025

****

Are you noticing a pattern here? The staff are the ones who run the ground game for Congress. Work on helping them understand and learn.
—
Emily Ellsworth (@editoremilye) November 12, 2025

Because, if the staff knows you, when they have a question about a piece of legislation or amendment, they will be the one you call.
—
Emily Ellsworth (@editoremilye) November 12, 2025

And, that's the best I've got for you now. I hope it helps. Use your resources the best way you can and get their attention.
