Everything You Need to Know About Stacey Abrams’ ‘Hot Call Summer’
How you can help pass the For the People Act
Summertime has finally arrived. After a lengthy pandemic-inspired hibernation, many women feel excited about their hot-girl summer plans. Tourism around the globe has recently hit record heights. And while these vacations are well-deserved, conservative voter suppression tactics are surging. Systemic racism does not take time off, but that does not mean Black women have to stick to the picket line to make a difference.
According to MSNBC : “Stacey Abrams has launched her ‘Hot Call Summer’ campaign to get Congress to pass the For the People Act. The ‘Hot Call Summer’ campaign asks supporters to call their U.S. senators daily, to ensure the protection of voting rights through the passage of this new bill.”
Protecting voting rights is a long-term and at times, complicated endeavor. Sometimes people who want to help don’t know where to start. Stacey Abrams’ Hot-Call Summer campaign provides a jump-off point, breaking activism down into short-term goals. Asking senators to pass the For the People Act only takes a few moments by phone. When someone calls into the Hot-Call Summer line, they will be redirected to their senator’s office— easy as pie.
