Well, for starters, the strongest lever you have is your local member of Congress. Theres an election coming up in 2018, and they want to keep their seats. If a local newspaper reports that protesters at a town hall barraged a Congressman with questions about a bill, or if a group of constituents on social media calls a Congressman unresponsive and untrustworthy, that makes them nervous. Some will go to great lengths to avoid those outcomes.
Also, of course, donate to and work for candidates. Get involved your local Democratic party and indivisible group.
