Calling On Constituents
Actress and singer Anneliese van der Pol took to Instagram this week with a rallying cry that combined pride in her hometown with a clear call to civic action. In a three-slide post shared on August 5, the former Raven’s Home star wrote, “I’m SO proud of my city and my state, and I know we are not alone. Don’t let them scare you… keep up the good fight! I love you all.” The caption directed followers to the third slide, which lists all of Los Angeles’s congressional representatives, and added the hashtag #callyourcongressman.
Supporting Her City
In the first slide, van der Pol appears wearing a bright red T-shirt emblazoned with “Los Angeles,” a visual declaration of solidarity. The second slide offers her followers a simple instruction: arm yourselves with the contact information for their members of Congress. The third slide breaks down each district and its incumbent, from Rep. Jimmy Gomez in East LA’s 34th District to Rep. Karen Bass in the 37th, giving fans everything they need to pick up the phone and voice their concerns.
An avid social media user, van der Pol has frequently used her platform to highlight issues she cares about. Earlier this year, she celebrated her 40th birthday with an Instagram video captioned, “This is FORTY folks!… and I don’t think I’ve ever been happier. It only gets better, I promise. So much love to you all. #vote.” That post underscored her belief in the importance of voting as the foundational act of democracy.
A History Of Advocacy
Van der Pol first rose to fame on Disney Channel’s Lizzie McGuire before joining Raven’s Home in 2017. Off-screen, she has steadily built a reputation for thoughtful engagement on issues ranging from arts funding to environmental protections. Her recent post echoes a slide from another older Instagram upload, where she shared a quote by Eve Curie—“Nothing is impossible in the United States”—signaling that her optimism extends beyond entertainment.
Her husband, Johnno Wilson, who co-starred as her on-screen ex in Raven’s Home, was tagged in the post. The couple quietly wed in a small ceremony earlier this year—an event covered by PEOPLE magazine—and have supported each other’s projects and causes ever since. Their partnership both on and off camera reflects a shared commitment to community and civic responsibility.
Behind The Slides
The list of lawmakers on slide three offers clear directions:
• 25th District: Rep. Mike Garcia
• 28th District: Rep. Adam Schiff
• 29th District: Rep. Tony Cárdenas
• 30th District: Rep. Brad Sherman
• 31st District: Rep. Pete Aguilar
• 32nd District: Rep. Grace Napolitano
• 33rd District: Rep. Ted Lieu
• 34th District: Rep. Jimmy Gomez
• 35th District: Rep. Norma Torres
• 36th District: Rep. Raul Ruiz
• 37th District: Rep. Karen Bass
• 38th District: Rep. Linda Sánchez
• 39th District: Rep. Young Kim
By sharing this curated list, van der Pol bypasses partisan labels and focuses on direct citizen engagement. She reminds followers that contacting elected officials is the first step toward accountability, an approach she’s championed in past posts.
Advocacy In Action
Fans quickly responded with screenshots of their own calls, tagging the actress and pledging to share their experiences on social media. One user wrote, “Thanks for making this easy, Anneliese. I just left a message for my rep!” Another reposted the slide deck with the comment, “Let’s do this, LA.”
Van der Pol’s post arrives amid growing efforts to mobilize everyday Americans on key policy debates. From local town halls to national movements, the message is consistent: democracy demands participation.
Her Instagram feed remains a blend of career updates—tours, musical performances and upcoming roles—and personal reflections on family, city pride, and civic duty. This latest post sits comfortably alongside content meant to entertain and inspire, reinforcing the idea that public service can be woven into everyday life.
Whether fans are seasoned activists or first-time callers, van der Pol’s encouragement provides the nudge many need to speak up. Her record of positivity, paired with practical resources, turns a simple social media update into a blueprint for community engagement. Her message is clear: stay proud, stay vocal, and never let fear silence your voice.
Anneliese van der Pol’s “good fight” may have started on the small screen, but her call to action proves that real-world impact begins when citizens pick up the phone and make themselves heard.
