Washington, DC — Today, Daily Action is celebrating the citizen activists who defeated President Trump and the Republican leadership’s health care bill. Daily Action connected over 67,000 calls to Congress to protect the Affordable Care Act for a total of 222,181 minutes, the equivalent of 154 days. Republicans faced an embarrassing defeat when a vote on the bill had to be cancelled for a second time due to lack of support.
Daily Action has become the frontline in battling President Trump’s policies and nominees on Capitol Hill, connecting 600,000 calls to Congress to fight Trump nominees and policies since it launched just three months ago. That’s over 2 million minutes of call time (the equivalent of 3.8 years!).
Daily Action has committed to connect 100,000 calls to fight the confirmation of Judge Gorsuch as well and inundated Senate offices earlier this week.
Daily Action logs an average of about 10,000 calls per day to fight President Trump’s policies or nominations. The average call time is over 3 minutes. Daily Action has grown to over 250,000 text message subscribers by making phone call activism easier than ever for the left. The brainchild of Washington, DC based writer and mom, Laura Moser, is produced in collaboration with Creative Majority PAC and powered by Revolution Messaging’s Revere calling technology.
