2017 Legislative Session Resources
- Political Contacts Questionnaire - Do you have connections to key legislators or government officials? We'd love to know!
- Sample Op-Ed - Are you interested in writing an op-ed on these issues? We've taken the time to put together sample language, if you don't know where to start. If you'd like to write your own, we are also happy to work with you on it!
- Hosting a House Party - Are you interested in hosting a small gathering at your home to invite your legislator to learn about our work? Hearing from constituents in their town is the best way to affect a legislator's position.
