If you click on that first link it explains it pretty well. Somewhat depends on the state but there are some similarities.

SUPPORT THOSE WHO ARE BEING DEINED THE RIGHT TO DUE PROCESS:
Email: Your two senators and one House rep (look up here: https://www.contactingcongress.org . Email makes it easier to share the resource links.
Script: I am from [ZIP] and concerned about how we’re treating asylum seekers. The American Immigration Lawyers Association, the National Association of Immigration Judges, and Federal Bar Association all advocate for creating an immigration court that operates independently of the Department of Justice. I want [NAME] to support creating an independent Article One immigration court to give asylum seekers basic respect and a speedy hearing. Here is a link for more information: http://www.fedbar.org/Image-Library/Government-Relations/CH16/Proposed-Article-I-Immigration-Court.aspx. Thank you.

SECURE A PATH TO CITIZENSHIP FOR ASPIRING AMERICANS:
Call: Your two senators (look up: https://www.contactingcongress.org).
Script: Hi. I’m from [ZIP] and I’m calling to express support for extending a clear path to citizenship for my neighbors protected by DACA, TPS, and DED. Recipients of these protections need stability, and so do their U.S.-citizen families, co-workers, and communities. I would like [NAME] to co-sponsor the bipartisan Dream and Promise Act of 2019 (DACA recipients) and the SECURE Act (for TPS and DED recipients).
If your senator is already supporting these initiatives make sure to still call and thank them!

ADVOCATE FOR EQUAL PROTECTION FOR LGBTQ INDIVIDUALS:
Call: Your one House rep (look up here: https://www.contactingcongress.org).
Script: Hi. I’m from [ZIP], and I value civil rights for all. The House Judiciary Committee just passed the Equality Act, which extends reasonable protections to me/my LGBTQ neighbors from firing, eviction, and denial of public services. Can I count on [NAME] to support H.R.5 when it comes to a vote?

IF YOU THINK THE HOUSE SHOULD BEGIN IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS:
If after today's Mueller press conference you feel strongly that impeachment proceedings need to begin here are a few resources to access that will make your work much easier.
Choose to call your rep directly (it dials for you), sign a petition, send postcards to the democratic leadership to tell them to get on the ball. All accessible here.
https://www.needtoimpeach.com/call-rep-impeachment/
5 Calls is a great site, and currently one of the 47 active issues they're working on is to "Demand Oversight of the Executive Office". www.5calls.org Again, it dials or emails your reps directly with your comments once you put in your zip.
And the general way to get your rep's contact info (including their local offices if you have time to stop by!) https://www.contactingcongress.org

WANT TO KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY YOUR MOC's TAKE FROM THE NRA:
Text “NRA” to 50409 learn which of your elected officials get money from the NRA.
After that if you want, @resistbot will also let you write to your elected officials to encourage HR8, the gun safety bill that has already passed in the House and is sitting on Mitch McConnell’s desk.

DID THE STORMING OF THE SCIF UPSET YOU?
If you are interested in donating to the Democratic candidates who will or are running opposite the 41 GOP members who charged into the scif to delay the ongoing proceedings you can do so with the link below to ActBlue. It will divy the donation up equally among all or you can designate %/$ to each candidate. You can donate as little as $5, and every bit helps get these obnoxious criminals out of office.

GET OUT AND VOTE TODAY!
It may only be town council and school board in your area but don't be apathetic! Every vote, all the way down each ballot makes a difference. If you are unhappy with the current state of affairs flip it!
We're seeing in places like NC and VA - having "lower" government officials elected as Democrats is impacting gerrymandering maps and voting rights as well as other things - VOTE BLUE!
(I was at the polls when they opened at 7 and saw far more conservative sign holders for issues and candidates, and I'm in a very liberal community - let's not get out represented)

REQUEST AN INCREASE TO FEDERAL FUNDING FOR ELECTION SECURITY (BEFORE 11/21):
Call: Your two senators (https://www.contactingcongress.org).
Script: Hi, I’m a constituent from [ZIP], and I want our elections to be safe from both foreign attacks and technological malfunctions. The House approved $600 million to increase election security but the Senate version of the same budget bill only provides $250 million.
Can I count on [NAME] to insist on the full $600 million in funding when S. 2524 comes to the Senate floor on November 21? Thank you.
