Contact Your Elected Officials
Contact Your Federal Elected Representatives
Change won’t happen unless people speak up. If you care about equal rights and meaningful reform, your voice matters. Take a few minutes to contact your elected officials about an issue that’s on your mind. Tell them briefly about the issue that matters to you, why it affects you or your community, and what action you want them to take. They can’t hear what you don’t say.
If you’re in the United States, you can find your federal elected officials using one of the links below:

Don’t assume someone else will speak for you. Make your voice heard.
