A 36-second animated civic action video (portrait) by Redmond Indivisible, themed around a stormy U.S. Capitol backdrop with flashing lightning.

Opening (0:00–0:08): A yellow "Messaging Storm" banner with the date "Wednesday September 23, 2026" and subtitle "All Day Action: A coordinated call to our Elected Officials." Body text explains Speaker Mike Johnson sent the House home early again and Senator McConnell returned from sick leave with apparent impairment, arguing reforms are needed. The Capitol switchboard number (202) 224-3121 and 5calls.org are displayed alongside a "Mobilize Sign Up" QR code.

Action 1 (0:09–0:16): A jagged "Action 1" bubble urges calling Senators to demand reform over keeping incapacitated senators in office. A "Senate Call Script" template is shown citing McConnell's condition. A stylized smartphone graphic with lightning appears. A yellow banner reminds callers to leave their street address if leaving voicemail.

Action 2 (0:17–0:25): "Action 2" instructs calling Representatives to protest Speaker Johnson ending the House session early, citing only 65 voting days, 383 hours in session, and 34 bills passed — all record lows. A "House Call Script" template calls for the House to return to session. The smartphone graphic and voicemail reminder reappear.

Why Calling Matters (0:25–0:30): A yellow banner reads "Why Calling Congress is important activism:" explaining that calls get tallied, show collective strength, and keep democracy alive. Animated cartoon frog characters appear. Text reads "Real change happens when we all show up!" and "Call. Share. Resist. Together we hold the power."

Closing (0:31–0:36): Dark screen with white cursive text animating "Join the Resistance" and the "REDMOND INDIVISIBLE" logo.
A GIF starting with a gray "Messaging Storm" poster with a storm cloud, lightning bolt, and a blindfolded Lady Justice silhouette holding a scale. Text reads "Wednesday September 16, 2026 / All Day Action: A coordinated call to our Elected Officials" with the U.S. Capitol Switchboard number "(202) 224-3121" and "visit 5calls.org." Yellow badges say "Make your voice count!" and "It only takes 10 minutes!" A QR code appears bottom right. The following slide shows a faded government building backdrop with a yellow "Action:" banner. White text reads "Call Congress and demand they resume appropriate checks and balances to the other branches of Government." A gold scale of justice icon teeters at the bottom. It then switches to an image with a speech-bubble panel titled "Why Calling Congress is important activism" with bullet points like "They get tallied and reported directly to leadership" and "They keep democracy alive between elections." A banner reads "Call. Share. Resist." with cartoon frogs and diverse illustrated people. It transitions to a black screen reading "Join the Resistance" with a Redmond Indivisible logo.
A short advocacy video from Redmond Indivisible promoting a "Messaging Storm" call-in day on Wednesday, September 9, 2026. The video opens with a flyer-style graphic encouraging viewers to phone their elected officials via the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121 or 5calls.org, with a QR code for sign-up and banners reading "It only takes 10 minutes!" and "Make your voice count!" The next slide lists an action item to "Stop Trump's Vanity Arch," accompanied by an image of a political figure wearing a crown, with a photo credit to Mother Jones, Carolyn Kaster/AP, and Getty. The third slide explains why calling Congress matters, noting that calls get tallied, show collective strength, and keep democracy alive between elections, with a banner reading "Call. Share. Resist. Together we hold the power." The video closes on a black screen with the text "Join the Resistance" and the Redmond Indivisible logo.
