That, and/or...
Before the meeting that is scheduled at 10am (again, Eastern Time, which means 7am West Coast), hit up these Senators to encourage them to maintain the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. They are scheduled to meet at 10 to discuss, and I quote, the "Obamacare Emergency: Stabilizing the Individual Health Insurance Market." Here are the ranking Republican, then Democratic Senators sitting on this committee. Call em, get a person, and encourage them to maintain the facets of this, while obviously not perfect, massively beneficial program (subsidies, using the penalties to fund said subsidies, etc).

Then, this from "Your Daily Action"
Today's Daily Action is to call the Customs and Border Protection office at a randomly selected US airport to demand that they follow the law of the land (the Immigration and Naturalization Act) and fully comply with all of the judicial orders that have been issued about the recent executive order banning the entry of Muslims and refugees into the United States.
Ask the officers point-blank if they are currently detaining any travelers.
Ask them if they have anyone in custody who does not have access to a lawyer (and report back on what you hear).
Ask them if they have anyone in custody who does not have access to a lawyer (and report back on what you hear).
They are probably used to fielding calls about package deliveries from FedEx and DHL—but let them know that there will be NO BUSINESS AS USUAL with so many lives as well as our core freedoms and values at stake.

Senators’ Contact info
(Remember, calling is key! Emails and mailings are not as effective. Call until you reach a human being, and only call about one topic at a time. The calls are logged by topic, so keep the confusion low, even if that means calling repeatedly about different topics. I suggest saving these numbers, and your House Representative’s number, in your phone. A brilliant activist suggested making all of their last names “Reps” so that you can search them all together and go right down the line when calling.)
