READY TO TAKE ACTION?
You can make a difference! From registering to vote, or learning how to register voters, to staying informed, to peaceful non-compliance – it all counts! Contacting our legislators and letting them know what you think about issues and pending legislation is a powerful way to make your voice heard. Face-to-face contact is an even better way to make waves. If you can show up in-person at a town hall or at their local office, do it!
You can also join a local Action Group based on issues that you care about.
The Action Groups are designed to research and communicate information about what actions are necessary going forward.
Or, if you are really ready, RUN FOR OFFICE! We need more Democrats representing us in Arizona.

2026 Arizona Debate Schedule
Check the Clean Elections Website for the schedule of candidate debates. Debates will be available through television, radio, digital platforms, and livestreams. Many will also be simulcast statewide or regionally. All debates will be available on the Clean Elections YouTube channel.
The way we access our news is rapidly changing. More and more we turn to non-traditional sources like Substack columns, newsletters, podcasts and social media. It’s helpful to know which sources like-minded people trust for honest, reliable information.
To support our members, the DORR Board has compiled a list of recommended news sources, with descriptions and links. We hope you’ll discover new “friends” among them which resonate with your values and interests.
Local Action Groups
We are asking members from all the political groups in the Sedona/Verde Valley to join an Action Group by contacting one of the group leaders. Contributing your ideas and volunteering will help them as they formulate and carry out their goals.
Tips on Contacting Legislators
Let your Reps know how you feel! Be LOUD!
1. Face-to-face contact is the BEST way to make waves. If you can show up in-person at a town hall or at their local office, do it. Have questions prepared and urge them to answer.
2. In-person events don’t happen every day. So, the absolute most important thing we should be doing is making calls EVERY day:
More about these calls…
3. Republican callers generally outnumber Democratic callers 4 to 1.
On hot-button issues (like gun control, or Ukraine, etc.), that number can skyrocket to 11-1! Those tallies matter! They can push undecided Representatives to vote one way or another. The senior staff and Senators get a report of the 3 most called about topics for that day and how many people said what about each of those topics. They’re also sorted by ZIP code and area code.
4. Give them your ZIP code. They won’t always ask for it, but make sure you give it to them, so they can mark it down. Extra points if you live in a ZIP code that traditionally votes for them, since they’ll want to make sure they keep your vote.
5. When calling the DC office, ask for the staff member in charge of whatever you’re calling about (“Hi, I’d like to speak with the staffer in charge of Healthcare, please”). Local offices won’t always have specific ones, but ask anyway. If you get transferred to that person, awesome. If you don’t, that’s ok – ask for their name, and then just keep talking to whoever answered the phone. Don’t leave a message (unless the office doesn’t pick up at all).
6. Pick 1-2 specific things per day to focus on. Don’t go down a whole list – they’re figuring out what 1-2 topics to mark you down for on their lists. Ideally talk about something that will be voted on in the next few days, but it doesn’t really matter – even if there’s not a vote coming up in the next week, call anyway. It’s important that they just keep getting calls.
7. If you can make it personal, then do! “I voted for you in the last election and I’m worried/happy/whatever” or “I’m a teacher, and I am appalled by X,” or “as a single mother” or “as a 1 st generation immigrant” or whatever fits.
8. Be clear on what you want – “I’m disappointed that the Senator…” or “I want to thank the Senator for their vote on…” or “I want the Senator to know that voting in X way is bad for our state because…” Don’t leave any ambiguity. They may get to know your voice or get sick of you – it doesn’t matter. If you hate being on the phone and feel awkward don’t worry about it – after a few days of calling, it starts to feel a lot more natural.
9. Try saving the numbers in your phone all under P – for Politician (Politician Mark Kelly DC, Politician Mark Kelly PHX, etc…) to make it really easy to click down the list each day.
10. Online Petitions are generally not worth your time
11. You can also download the 5 Calls app or go to: www.5calls.org to find the most urgent topics of the day and corresponding scripts.
5 Calls is a site that makes it easy for U.S. constituents to make a political impact. You can find clear descriptions and updates on the latest issues, as well as tips for calling your congressperson.
Key points on these calls: Give them your ZIP code. Extra points if you live in a ZIP code that traditionally votes for them. Focus on 1-2 topics. Make it personal. Be clear on what you want.
