Resistbot

Resistbot is a chatbot that helps you communicate with federal, state or local politicians. The service lets you quickly contact your representatives with text messages that generate faxes, postal mail or emails in a few minutes. You can start the process by texting the word "resist" to 50409 and answering follow-up questions.

The bot can figure out who your representatives are on its own, so you don't have to tell it. Among its abilities:

• Letter Writing: You can have the bot draft a letter based on a bill number or news article, or you can type your own message.
• Campaign Joining: You can join campaigns set up by organizers to send emails, faxes or mail to politicians.
• Voter Registration Protection: You can text "Check" to the bot to check and protect voter registration.

So far, Resistbot has sent more than 30 million letters, a move it says is designed to help people make their voices heard in the political process. Indeed, studies have shown that Resistbot use can be an effective way to get people to vote in elections.

Premium membership costs $7 per month or $70 per year, with a two-month discount. Premium features include:

• Unlimited AI-written letters
• Fax and postal mail delivery
• Priority access and support
• Daily newspaper front pages
• Custom keyword and more

Message and data rates may apply when sending SMS. You can cancel at any time by texting "stop" to 50409. Resistbot is a 501(c)(4) social welfare organization, so donations aren't tax-deductible.
