Send the Email! Tips for Emailing Your Elected Officials
Engaging with elected officials is one of the most powerful ways to create change. Constituents bring attention to issues and heavily influence lawmakers. The more people involved, the greater the impact!
Our elected officials work for us. By making our voices heard, we push for our concerns to be prioritized.
