Sample Call-in Script

“Hello, my name is [first and last name] and I'm a constituent from [City, State]. I'm calling as a community leader from [your federation/congregation/organization]. I am calling today to ask [Representative/Senator] to commit to using their power to reduce funding for immigrant detention, deportation and border militarization by reducing funding for ICE and CBP.

As Congress engages in important conversations and decision making about the 2023 budget, I am calling to remind [Senator/Representative] that the budget is a moral statement of our national values and priorities. There are real lives, real people, real families that will be helped or harmed by decisions made by our elected leaders.

Instead of funding family separation, I urge the [Senator/Representative] to invest my tax dollars into community priorities such as [chose what is important to your community: improving access to affordable health care, education, gun violence prevention, affordable housing, creating and funding jobs, fighting the effects of climate change, protecting voting rights, and fully funding the U.S. Census, or other priorities].

Will the [Representative/Senator] commit to cutting funds for ICE and CBP and agree to invest in love instead?
