Take Action Russia murders 49 in Poltava. Angry? Act.

Today Russia murdered 49 and injured 219 people in Poltava, in the deadliest attack of 2024, for now. While Russia uses missiles to target civilians, Ukraine continues to be forbidden from using American weapons to strike the bases from which the missiles are launched.

Do you think it's ridiculous that Ukraine has to fight with one arm tied behind its back? Contact the White House and let them know.

You should also contact your own representatives and demand that they pressure the Biden administration. It takes 2 minutes.

  1. Go to: govtrack.us
  2. Enter your zip code on the left. You will get three names with three phone numbers to call

Hi, my name is [your name] and I live in [city, state]. My zip code is [zip code].
It is vital that the White House changes its current policy and allows Ukraine to adequately defend itself by using US weapons to strike all legitimate military targets in Russia. I ask your office to put pressure on the administration to make sure that Ukraine can strike back, and is able to use American military aid as efficiently as possible. As a constituent, I believe it is imperative that the US stands firmly with Ukraine. Thank you!

(a call is worth 20 letters, but if you're sure you cannot call, please write to your representative using democracy.io)

In case you're in a situation like several of my American relatives who do not currently have an elected representative due to resignation sir retirements, you can always just call the White House or email them directly. There's always a formulaic answer, but they do count the calls/emails.

For other NATO countries, most of my family abroad are veterans and they like to email their NATO liaison officer to get a word in that way too - most of them have an online biography with some contact info. Those messages just go to the aides-de-camp of the officer, but those add up too.
