Action 1: Volunteer With Black Voters Matter
Adapted from Rogan's List 9/14/26
The pro-democracy activists at Black Voters Matter are working to "increase power in marginalized, predominantly Black communities." One way we can help is to participate in their weekly texting Tuesdays where they work to get out the vote and encourage voters to check their registration status. Training is provided and you can participate from anywhere.

Action 2: Thank the Media Outlets for Standing in Solidarity with CNN
From Chop Wood Carry Water 9/22/26
Let’s write a quick note thanking ABC, CBS, Fox News, and NBC for doing the right thing and staying in solidarity with CNN. We need to encourage them to keep up the boycott until Trump relents. I know it’s weird to thank Fox for anything. Feel free to skip them if you can’t stomach it.
You can contact ABC here, CBS here, Fox at viewersfeedback@foxnews.com and NBC at contact.nbcnews@nbcuni.com.
Write your own scripts or use these from Jessica Craven:
To Fox:
I want to thank you for standing up for the 1st Amendment last week. Please continue to stand in solidarity with CNN and refuse to cover Trump until he lets ALL of the press corps back in. I’m sure you understand that, while right now it’s a Republican president doing this, next time it could be a Democrat, and you could be the target. Press needs to stand together and I’m glad to see you doing so. Thanks.
To the other 3 outlets:
I’m writing to thank you for standing up for the 1st Amendment last week. Please continue to stand in solidarity with CNN and refuse to cover Trump until he lets ALL of the press corps back in. It is so important that you refuse to yield in this critical matter. Stay strong and keep boycotting Trump until he stops attacking press freedom. Thanks.

Make calls with Citizen Action of NY to voters in Republican Mike Lawler's district (NY-17):
Tuesdays: https://www.mobilize.us/mobilize/event/885487/?utm_source=roganslist
Phone bank with Citizen Action of NY to talk to people living in New York's 17th Congressional District about what issues matter most to them & how policy decisions at the federal level are impacting their everyday lives in the Hudson Valley.
Make calls with the PA House Democratic Campaign Committee: https://www.mobilize.us/pahousedemocraticcampaigncommittee/?tag_ids=212
Pennsylvania Democrats are shooting for a trifecta in November by expanding their majority in the state house and taking back the majority in the state senate. This would allow Democrats to redraw congressional maps, raise the state's minimum wage to $15/hr, and legalize marijuana. Shifts are available most days.
Make calls with the Environmental Voter Project: https://www.environmentalvoter.org/get-involved
The Environmental Voter Project is a nonpartisan, nonprofit focused on identifying an estimated 11.2 million environmentalists who did not vote in the 2024 presidential election and efficiently converting them into a critical mass of consistent voters that will soon be too big for politicians to ignore.
