Call (preferable)
Go to: govtrack.us
Enter your zip code on the left. You will get three names with three phone numbers to call
Below is a sample script that you can use while calling. Please feel free to add any details to this, such as additional reasons why the U.S. should continue to support Ukraine and why this issue is important to you. You can use this script for both speaking with a staffer or leaving a voicemail.
_______
Hello! My name is [your name] and I live in [city, state]. My zip code is [zip code].
I am appalled by Putin's war against Ukraine and his continuing attacks against the Ukrainian civilian population. It is evident that the US needs to place more pressure on Russia to end the war. Recently a bicameral and bipartisan bill was introduced to impose sanctions on Russia if it refuses to make peace, or if it re-invades Ukraine after a peace deal is reached. I'm calling to ask [representative's name] to co-sponsor the Sanctioning Russia Act, [HR 2548 if calling a Representative, S 1241 if calling a Senator]. Thank you.

Feel free to improvise and don't be nervous. Calling may seem stressful at first, but it's really easy.
You can call weekly or even every day. Calling regularly is very effective because it tells the representative that you're organized and dedicated. Aides tally all calls, but they take particular note of people who call regularly. The biggest threat to a representative during elections are enthusiastic constituents with a grudge. Your voice matters.
Write
If you are sure you cannot call (a call is worth 20 letters but a letter is still better than nothing), you can do this:
Go to democracy.io and enter your address to get your representatives.
Write the letter, you can title it: Co-Sponsor Stand with Ukraine Act
