Virtual Advocacy Guide

Our tools make it easy to get your legislators’ attention – even if you only have minutes or seconds to spare. Just enter your information and we’ll deliver your message, or get their office on the phone for you.

• Send your legislators an email.
• Set off their Twitter notifications.
• Or get their office on the phone.

A small time investment can have huge results. Legislative offices look at your advocacy differently if they can tell it took time and effort to get their attention. If you’re willing to invest up to an hour of your day, we’ve got everything you need.

• Set off their Google alerts with a Letter to the Editor.
• Become a Social Media Expert.
• Write a personal note to your legislators.

Meeting directly with legislators or their staff is the single most effective way to make your voice heard – and we’re not going to let the pandemic keep you from getting face time with them. You can still schedule virtual meetings with legislators and staff, and we’ve got everything you need to make that happen.

• Check out your Virtual Meetings Volunteer Toolkit
• Use our simple tool to request meetings with your legislators.
• Let us know if you get a meeting on the books. 
• And be sure to tell us how it went. 
• If you have any other questions, let us know and we’ll connect you to your regional organizer.

As you spreading word on social, start making phone calls, or preparing for a Zoom meeting with your legislator, you may be looking for some additional resources to guide you along the way.
