You can reach Speaker Ryan's office at (202) 225-0600, and Majority Leader McCarthy's office at (202) 225-4000. I have included a sample script below for your convenience:

> Hello, my name is ___, and I am calling to urge the Speaker/Majority Leader to place the Marrakesh Treaty Implementation Act (S. 2559) on the Suspension Calendar this week. The Marrakesh Treaty and its implementing legislation were passed unanimously by the US Senate on June 28, 2018. This treaty will expand access to information for thousands of blind Americans like me here at home and around the world.
