When large numbers of people repeatedly dial the key phone lines of your target, you can tie up their service, and pressure them to comply with your demands.
Phones are a vital part of the operation of most business and government offices. If you can deliberately tie-up their phone lines for an hour or two (or a day or two!), they’ll be more likely to respond to your campaign’s demands.
Not only are you applying economic pressure by interrupting business-as-usual, you are delivering a message with every call. Also, it is a mass democratic tactic and distributed action: it can be done from anywhere, and it’s easy for people to participate. This tactic is both a good way to escalate an ongoing campaign, and a quick way to respond in the wake of public outrage.
