Calls to Congress

Call Your Senator

Make your voice count. By calling your Senator, you are using your right to speak freely and to organize to be heard! There is no better way to convey why the Senate should pass clean energy legislation than by telling their office directly. Here’s How:

1. The easiest option is to use our click-to-call tool.
2. You can also call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121.
3. A switchboard operator will connect you directly with the Senate office you request.
4. Most Senate office phones will be answered by an intern or an office assistant who will track the purpose of your the call.
5. Be sure to tell them who you are, where you are from and reference the bill number you are calling about ( S. 1733 – Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act).
6. Let the office know that you are calling in support of the climate bill and you urge the Senator to vote in favor of it.

It is also helpful to call your Senator’s district offices in your state. The Senator’s local offices need to hear from their constituents just as often as the DC office.
