Supporting Legislation
Raise Awareness
Talk to Legislators
Raising awareness about legislation is one of the most important things you can do to support legislation. Make people aware of the bill and try to gain support. Layout the facts and identify the positive implications of the bill. If other people believe in the bill they too may work to contact legislators regarding why it's important that this bill passes. The more people fighting for a bill to pass the more likely the bill is to succeed especially if those advocating for the bill come from a diverse range of backgrounds.

Email your legislators regarding current legislation and its impact and encourage your peers to email their legislators as well . When emailing be respectful, be kind, lay out the facts, and humanize the impacts of the legislation. If you can visit your legislators at your state capital and talk to them about policies.
