}}Resistbot is a service that people in the United States can use to compose and send letters to elected officials from the messaging apps on their mobile phones, with the goal being that the task can be completed in "under two minutes".[1] It identifies a user's state and federal elected officials, then provides an electronic service to deliver to those officials, as well as to local newspapers, and [https://twitter.com/openletterbot to publish online]. As the platform has developed, Resistbot has added functionality such as confirming voter registrations, locating town halls, finding volunteer opportunities, and locating polling places.[1] Resistbot has been funded by small-dollar donations, over 24,000 as of September 12, 2017,[2] and is built and maintained by volunteers.[3]

History

Resistbot was established by Eric Ries and Jason Putorti in January 2017.[4] Though the program was founded to oppose the actions of the Trump administration,[5] it functions as an un-biased channel, allowing users to compose their own messages. Unlike many other advocacy efforts, it provides no scripts to users.[6] Donations from users pay for postage for letters and voter registration forms, faxes and calls to officials, and texts between the users and the service.[1] When Resistbot began, letters were faxed[7] to officials' offices. However, as the program received more heavy usage, and officials started to unplug their fax machines, it switched to electronic delivery as a primary channel, with faxes, postal letters, and hand deliveries as secondary methods.[8] Between June 21 and 22, 2018 alone, Resistbot volunteers delivered 12,781 letters to the U.S. Senate, largely about family separation.[9] Those letters represented only a small sample of deliveries overall.[10]

How Resistbot works

Users text the word "resist" to 50409, and follow a series of prompts.[11] If a user wants to write to one of their officials, Resistbot will ask for their address to find out who represents them, ask for the user to type out the letter they want to send, and delivers the message via electronic delivery, fax, or postal mail, depending on what method is available. Users may also use Facebook Messenger, Twitter, or Telegram to use the service.[1] Resistbot is free to use,[12] and does not require an app download.

Usage and reception

Resistbot has been featured on many news and magazine sites including Recode, Teen Vogue, Fast Company, Engadget, GOOD, The Guardian, The Miami Herald, and Huffington Post. In an interview with Recode, Putorti acknowledged that though the product's main purpose was to voice those in opposition to the Trump Presidency, the system delivers all messages without regard to political views.[13] Resistbot's twitter feed features many responses by members of Congress to users who have sent messages through the software[14]. It was called, "The Most Genius Thing Of 2017" by GOOD magazine.[15]

In November 2017, Resistbot was used as a channel by Medium Magazine to push Net Neutrality letters to Congress. The article published seven letter templates for readers to send to their representatives in favor of net neutrality.[16] In January 2018, The Peace Report published an article pushing its users to send letters to government officials through Resistbot in order to oppose the construction of two new military bases in Okinawa.[17] The article contained a letter template for readers to copy and paste to Congress representatives. In February 2018, WUSA TV fact checked and verified that texting "NRA" to Resistbot would tell users how their officials had benefited, or been hurt by, NRA contributions.[18] In September 2018, InStyle Magazine listed it as a way to "make your voice heard," regarding the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh.[19]
