Advocate with Elected Officials

Making your voice heard is one of the most powerful ways to create change. Regularly contacting your elected officials — from local leaders to state and federal representatives — ensures they know where you stand on the issues that matter most.

Your emails, calls, and public comments help shape their decisions and remind them that they work for you. Showing up at meetings — whether it's a school board, county board, or town hall — demonstrates community engagement and holds leaders accountable. When elected officials see and hear from their constituents, they are more likely to prioritize policies that reflect the needs of the people they serve.

Democracy works best when we all take part—so speak up, show up, and make a difference! Not sure who represents you? Check out this handy lookup tool.
