The State Legislature meets January – April and things get quite hectic during that period. For national legislation, a variety of tools are used to keep track of bills in the House & Senate, including Legiscan, Congress.gov and the Congress, Countable, and 5 Calls apps. We encourage members to call, email, tweet and fax (by using ResistBot, i.e. text “resist” to 50409 and follow their instructions) our elected officials with their input and concerns. Recommendations for contacting legislators are sent in the weekly action lists.
