Have You Made a Date with Your Rep?

Congress is on spring recess until April 13, so your representatives and senators are in their districts and states for meetings with constituents. Call the local scheduler today and ask for a time to meet — be creative! You can meet at their office, at a local coffee shop, or a community event.

Use our Activist Milestone #7 to guide you, and find a sample letter to send to your scheduler.
