Save their contact information and whenever you see a bill that you would like them to support/oppose, let them know! 📲

Always remain respectful! Even when they are strongly disagreeing! 🙅

When you feel more comfortable with this process, consider calling and asking to meet with them sometime to discuss a bill. (They will want to know which one when you call) ☎

Bring a friend if you aren’t feeling confident, it can be overwhelming! Using the "buddy system" will help! 👫

Stay vigilant! Several states have removed exemptions and others are facing bills that remove rights. Our time to speak up is NOW! 💪
