As it happens, in-person meetings with our senators’ field representatives are already in the works, as a follow-up to the call-in week. Phone calls are only the beginning!

Having worked in government, I know that the phone calls are significantly lopsided against us. However, phone calls aren’t all that effective. My suggestion would be to set up a face-to-face meeting with either the Senator (not likely) or their staff (much more likely). I hope that you are able to turn this event into a broader campaign. Our school (Macalester) is in the process of setting up meetings with our Senators as I write this.
