we cannot assume that the people in power hear us, even from the streets.
we need to flood their phonelines with the message.
the idea is simple really.
CALL a bunch of Republicans and give them the message that we want impeachment & removal.
thats it.
The focus of this movement is to call members of Congress across the nation and ask them to use their position to put the executive branch in check. It’s not the only thing we need to do to begin to heal this place, but we must be persistent and take each step towards change together. We know for certain that we do NOT want to be “led” by the current administration any longer. Sure, we might not be constituents of each of these “law makers”, but their decisions and actions truly impact ALL of us. They NEED TO KNOW where we all stand and that we are watching what they do. Enough is enough.
We cannot assume that the people who currently hold the power hear us unless we call. They do not care what we post online. The system is OLD AND BROKEN, and thus, we have to use the OLD TECHNOLOGY to get our message across. We have to tell them the old fashioned ways - marching and calling.
For all sorts of reasons, some of us cannot march or engage physically, but we can all use the phone.
We understand that phone calls are annoying and slow, but that sums up why they are effective. Each of the people you call will get a report each day about what issues came through the phones and each of them will BE FORCED TO HEAR YOUR MESSAGE.
The list of people to call includes Republican folks who have shown some signs of understanding that Trump, Miller, Noem, and Bondi are out of control. Removal after impeachment has NEVER been done in US History. This is an enormous task, and we recognize that even those with relative power are feeling intimidated and scared. We believe that calling them with this message may give them the confidence they need to make the changes they know are right. Please consider calling as many as you can each day. Ask your friends and family to join you. Spread the script and call list to as many folks as you can, in any way that makes sense to you.
We really believe that maybe thousands of calls can change everything.
The “23 Republicans with the power” concept was NOT our idea.
Lots of folks have been talking about this (see below).
All we did was organize to make it easier for people (to even think about making 23 calls each day) to ask Congress to stand up and stop this.
Please do what you can.
Make some calls.
Spread the word.

As G. Elliott Morris of Strength in Numbers wrote: Republicans could stop this at any time they wanted to.
“All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dem[ocrat]s to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump—3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.”
Morris also pointed out that in December, Trump’s approval rating was negative in 40 states, including 10 he won in 2024. That covers 30 seats currently held by Republicans. Pretti’s shooting will likely erode Trump’s support further. Tonight, even right-wing podcaster Tim Pool reacted to Pretti’s killing by noting that it looked as if the agent had disarmed Pretti before the other agents shot him. “I don’t see Trump winning this one,” Pool commented.
