5 Calls Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

Okay, I cannot recommend 5calls.org enough. Enter your address and it will find all your reps (federal and state). AND give you a list of issues to call about AND which reps to call about each of them AND a little script for each, in case it's helpful. They have an app, too.

I'm one of many volunteer reviewers reading 2025 books by small presses -- presses and authors that often don't receive the attention they deserve. My focus is Literature in Translation (fiction and nonfiction). #100smallpress
