- Fifty Nifty is a grassroots challenge to participate in democracy by building a network of friends that make calls to congresspeople in all 50 states. Live phone calls are the best way to directly express your opinion on an issue to your elected officials. Your mission is to pass this along to friends who will make calls and also pass the link along to others who will do the same. It’s a social chain letter and a call to action for a better participatory democracy. Call and tell others to do the same. We’ll help you make the call and express your message.
