Call the Senate: Urgent Puerto Rico Healthcare, Jobs, Poverty Relief

Call the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121 and ask for your Senators. You will need to call twice to reach each of your US Senators. The switchboard is open 24 hours a day and 7 days a week to leave a message for your Senator.

If you need help finding your Senators, you can ask the Capitol Switchboard attendant by telling them in what state you reside or use this link.

Once you are connected, ask to leave a time-sensitive message for your Senator.

"Thank you for taking my call. I live in your state, my name and address is______________. The Build Back Better Act contains provisions that will help Puerto Rico recover from debt crisis, natural disasters and tackle a nearly 60% child poverty rate. I want the Senator to promote recovery and opportunity for the people of the island by:

1.) Supporting Supplemental Security Income payments that could benefit more than 300,000 low-income people; 

2.) Support child tax credits and fully fund a permanent expansion of the healthcare Medicaid program;

3.) Passing measures to increase manufacturing jobs in Puerto Rico."
