I will be calling. Will you?

Dear Dot Calm's Shadow,
The calls for the Department of Justice to do something about the terrorist attacks on Planned Parenthood health clinics are growing.1

More than 200,000 people--including you--have demanded that the Department of Justice investigate the attacks as domestic terrorism. That's huge--but we need to take it a step further and flood their lines with phone calls demanding they take action. Can you call?

Here is the number to call:

Department of Justice, National Comment Line

After you call, please click here to let us know how it went.

It's always best to speak in your own words, but here are some bullet points that can guide you.

The Department of Justice must treat the attacks at Planned Parenthood as they are: domestic terrorism.
  • There have been violent attacks on Planned Parenthood health clinics in FIVE states since July. 

  • The Department of Justice committed to stopping acts of domestic terrorism just like these with the announcement of the Domestic Terrorism Counsel. They must stay true to that commitment.

  • The Department of Justice has a strong history of protecting freedom from domestic terrorism, including prosecuting bombings of the Olympics and the World Trade Center. Women's constitutionally protected freedom to access safe reproductive care must be also protected.

Will you make the call now?

Thanks for speaking out.
