Advocacy & Lobbying

Turning community pressure into political action โ€” organized calls, letters, and face-to-face meetings that make our representatives hear us.

Why we lobby

Elected officials answer to organized people.

[2โ€“3 sentences on your group's approach โ€” that individual outrage becomes power when it's coordinated, and that you make it easy for anyone to take an effective action in a few minutes.]

"[A short line about a win, a meeting, or a moment that showed advocacy works.]"
Current campaigns

What we're pushing for right now.

[Keep this list current โ€” an out-of-date campaign is worse than none. Assign someone to review it monthly.]

Active ยท Federal

[Campaign name]

[One or two sentences on the ask, who the target is, and the current status.]

Active ยท Local

[Campaign name]

[One or two sentences on the ask, who the target is, and the current status.]

Ongoing

[Campaign name]

[One or two sentences on the ask, who the target is, and the current status.]

Won โœ“

[Past win]

[Briefly celebrate a result โ€” shows visitors that showing up actually changes things.]

Get involved

From two minutes to a standing commitment.

1

Contact your reps

[Use our pre-written scripts to call or email your representatives โ€” it takes about two minutes and we tell you exactly who to contact.]

2

Attend a lobby day

[Join us for a coordinated visit to a local or state office. We prep everyone beforehand โ€” no experience needed.]

3

Join the working group

[Help plan campaigns, track legislation, and build relationships with offices. This is where strategy happens.]

๐Ÿ“„ Scripts & toolkits

[Link your call/email scripts, a "find your rep" lookup, and any one-pagers here. Keep the language tight and factual so anyone feels confident using it. Update scripts whenever a campaign's status changes.]

โš ๏ธ How "Contact Your Reps" actually works โ€” scripts + find-your-rep lookup, an embedded action tool, or a form โ€” is TBD (see Trello). [to be added]

Two minutes today moves the needle.

[One line encouraging the quickest action โ€” sending a pre-written message to a representative right now.]
