Calling Congress with '5 Calls' app
So do you feel like things are overwhelming these days and you want to make a difference, but you're not sure how? Five-calls is making waves on social media in the wake of the deadly shooting of Alexi Pretti in Minneapolis. It's an app that helps constituents contact members of Congress. As influencers, activists, and everyday people wade into public policy conversations, many are turning to tools like 5 calls to streamline civic engagement. It works by aggregating contact information giving users a direct line to local and federal officials to urge action on issues. Joining us now is Nick O'Neill, the founder of Five Calls.
