What is Patch-Thru Calling?

Patch-Thru Calling is a powerful grassroots organizing method that allows direct communication with elected officials at scale. When constituents call, policymakers listen and respond. Patch-Thru campaigns amplify constituent voices, showcase public sentiment, and apply pressure on policymakers to deliver results. Voters can express their concerns or support for specific policies or bills and reach multiple officials through a single platform. By coordinating numerous individual calls, these campaigns make a collective impact and shape public policy decisions.

Patch-Thru Calling is a type of phone call that allows a caller to be connected directly to a third party, such as an elected official or representative. This is done by using a patch-through service, which is a type of service that allows callers to be connected to other numbers without having to dial them manually.
