Look Up your Elected Decision Makers
Building relationships with your elected officials and their staff is a crucial part of every advocate's work. Take a moment to enter your information and learn who represents you on Capital Hill and at the State House.
Pro Tip: Reaching out to introduce yourself, and share a bit about your work and the issues you care most about before you need to ask your elected officials for a specific item makes asking for that specific item (including co-sponsoring a bill, attending an event or helping with a constituent service) a lot easier.
