Reposted from something I saw on Facebook

“I just called the House Oversight Committee (202-225-5074) to support the call for a bipartisan review of Trump’s financials and apparent conflicts of interest. It took me two minutes, and the woman on the phone said that they are absolutely tallying calls - the more they get, the more likely the Committee is to demand ALL of Trump’s financial information.

She said that there’s not much time left, as they are out of the office next week for Thanksgiving. And after that, they’re going to make a decision.

NOW is your chance to use what’s left of democracy to send a strong message and demand change. Please, do this ASAFP. If you get a “mailbox is full” message, call back in a minute or so - that seems to be the default when lines are busy.

That number again is (202-225-5074). Website here:

“Likes” feel nice in the short term. “Shares” get the word out. ACTUALLY CALLING ACTUALLY DOES SOMETHING.”

I’m calling again tomorrow. Seriously, guys, hound Chaffetz’s ass on this.

If that number doesn’t work, try [phone]. They picked up when I called. All you say is that you support a review of Trump’s finances and his conflicts of interest. They aren’t taking names or phone numbers, just counting phone calls. 

Do it—it’s easy, they’re very nice, and it all adds up.

Hello lovely people! In response to #Oscarssowhite and the fact that so few women directors were nominated for Oscars this year I’ve decided to forget about Oscar Night and host an alternate Oscar party during which I will be watching and live tweeting one of the following movies during the Oscar ceremony using #WDAltOscars on the twitter @women_direct.

I’ve narrowed it down to 3 movies released in 2015 that were either by or about women of colour. Please vote in the poll on my twitter and don’t forget to follow along and tweet with me February 28, 2016 beginning at 8:30 p.m. EST/5:30 p.m. PST.

Everyone is welcome to participate!

The choices are:

Advantageous dir. Jennifer Phang (available to watch VIA Netflix + iTunes)

In a near-future city where soaring opulence overshadows economic hardship, Gwen and her daughter Jules do all they can to hold on to their joy together, despite the instability surfacing in their world.

Ayanda dir. Sara Blecher (available to watch VIA Netflix)

A coming of age story of a twenty one year old Afro hipster, who embarks on a journey of self discovery trying to keep the memory of her father alive, when she’s thrown into a world of greasy overalls, gender stereotypes and abandoned vintage cars in need of a young woman’s re inventive touch who tries to reclaim what would’ve been, what could’ve been.

The Second Mother dir. Anna Muylaert (available to watch VIA iTunes + Amazon prime)

When the estranged daughter of a hard-working live-in housekeeper suddenly appears, the unspoken class barriers that exist within the home are thrown into disarray.
