5 Calls

About this app

Learn about what's happening in Congress today and get connected with your House, Senate and local reps.

Spend 5 minutes, make 5 calls.

5 Calls is the easiest and most effective way to influence your representatives so THEY do what YOU want. Join millions of others participating in democracy in an easy to use format that walks you through who your reps are, what phone numbers to call and even gives you a script you can read.

Who's talking about 5 Calls? AOC, Robert Reich, Sheryl Crow and the Strict Scrutiny podcast all suggest that you contact your reps with 5 Calls.

5 Calls:
- Provides phone numbers and scripts so calling is quick and easy
- A background on why each issue is important so you can judge how important each one is to you
- Uses your location to find your local representatives so your calls have more impact
- Keeps track of who you've called about each issue so you can make your way down the list

TOGETHER WE’VE MADE over 14 MILLION CALLS!

Ratings and reviews

I love this app, but I don't like that calling is the only option. They talk about calling being best option in their FAQs, and their logic makes sense. But I hate making calls, have tried repeatedly to make myself do it, and it just doesn't work for me. In recent months I started using the app again, but let myself just send messages through rep's websites, and I've been so much more successful. Better that I send consistent bi-monthly messages, vs random calls a few times a year.

I've been using this app for a number of years now and not only does it make calling your representatives super easy with click-to-call options and scripts, but their customer service is absolutely amazing as well. I've reached out to inquire about a variety of topics and they always reasons quickly, often citing their own research in their responses. They clearly care about finding the just effective ways we can make an impact. Highly recommend.

Absolutely fantastic, and I wish I'd learned about this app YEARS ago. I just emailed them to ask about adding an extremely important topic and my script, so hopefully I will hear back soon and they will add that topic. This app is very fast and easy to navigate, and there are no issues I've encountered in the half hour I've used it so far to call my lawmakers several times about several topics! THANK YOU, 5 Calls, for making it easy to ACTUALLY make a difference and exercise our rights!!! 🤘🏻❤
