Take Action

3 Calls. 3 Minutes. Pinellas.

Phone calls move the needle. Emails get filtered, tweets get ignored, but a constituent on the phone gets logged. Three reps, three scripts, three minutes. Tap a number, read the script, hang up. Done.

How this works

Phone calls beat email. Every time.

Congressional staff log every constituent call by district. Form-letter emails go to a folder. A 60-second call from your area code gets noticed. We update this list weekly with what's actually pending — vetoes, votes, nominations, hearings — and write the scripts so you don't have to. Tap a card to expand the script + rep list, then tap a phone number to dial.

We track outcomes anonymously (no name, no email, just "contact / voicemail / unavailable") so you can see the call count add up. Not sure who your reps are? Check yours →

Why it matters

On May 4, Governor DeSantis signed HB 7029 — a redistricting map that yanks St. Petersburg out of Kathy Castor's FL-14, splits Tampa across three congressional districts, and pushes Anna Paulina Luna's FL-13 noticeably redder. Equal Ground Education Fund's complaint calls it "one of the most extreme gerrymanders in American history." Three lawsuits are already filed.

The clock matters: candidate qualifying opens June 8. If the courts don't move fast or the Legislature doesn't repeal it, this map governs the August primary. Whether you vote D, R, or "I'm tired of all of you," your representative just changed without your consent. The phone fix: a special session to repeal HB 7029.

What to say

Hi, my name is [NAME], and I'm a constituent in Pinellas County. I'm calling because Governor DeSantis just signed HB 7029. The new map takes St. Petersburg out of Castor's district and splits Tampa across three districts. My representation changed without my vote. I want [SENATOR / REPRESENTATIVE NAME] to demand a special session to repeal HB 7029 before candidate qualifying opens on June 8. Thank you for your time.

Why it matters

Florida's budget special session convenes Tuesday, May 12 and runs 18 days. The House and Senate are $1.4 billion apart, and Pinellas County Schools is the bag holder. We already absorbed a $10.7 million federal cut this year. The House budget plans to absorb another roughly $880 million in Medicaid match obligations Florida owes thanks to H.R.1 — and shrink the K-12 baseline on top.

The slick part: the House wants to fold the $4.5 billion universal voucher program inside the FEFP school funding formula. Translation: the line item that funds your kid's classroom now also pays for somebody's private school tuition, and the cuts are invisible. Senate version keeps them separate. Senate version is the one we want.

What to say

Hi, my name is [NAME], and I'm a constituent in Pinellas County. The budget special session starts Tuesday. Pinellas schools already lost ten point seven million dollars in federal cuts this year. The House budget would hide the universal voucher program inside the K-12 school funding formula, which masks more cuts. Please vote NO on any voucher-in-FEFP deal, and fund Pinellas schools at the Senate number. Thank you.
