Resistbot

Resistbot is a civic engagement tool that enables users to contact elected officials quickly and efficiently via text message or web interface. Its primary purpose is to lower the barrier to political participation by turning simple messages into formal communications such as emails, faxes, or postal mail to Congress, state legislators, and local officials. By streamlining the process, Resistbot helps constituents voice their concerns in minutes without needing to look up contact information or formatting requirements.

Key features include automated routing of messages to the correct representatives based on the user’s address, and support for multiple communication channels including email, fax, and printed mail. Users can send short messages by texting “RESIST” to 50409, which the system then formats into appropriate letters ready for delivery. Resistbot also supports petitions, voter registration assistance, and reminders about important deadlines or elections. The platform maintains a record of messages sent, enabling users to track their outreach history and maintain consistent advocacy over time.
