Democracy doesn't work in silence. Find your elected officials, understand their positions, and make your voice heard on the issues that matter to you, your family, and your community.
Congressional staffers report that as few as 10 letters or calls on an issue are enough to get a legislator to pay close attention. Your voice is more powerful than you think.
Your elected representatives make decisions that shape your daily life — from healthcare to education, gun policy to civil rights, environmental protection to economic policy. Knowing who they are is the first step to holding them accountable.
When we don't speak up, we hand our power to those who do. Every issue — from protecting communities to reforming systems — needs constituents who are willing to be heard. Prayers and thoughts after tragedy are not enough; action is required.
Emails, letters, phone calls and op-eds in local newspapers are among the most effective ways to influence legislators. The Congressional Management Foundation found these personal contacts directly shape how members of Congress vote.
From your city council to the US Senate, from your school board to the state legislature — every level of government has officials who represent you. Many of the most impactful decisions happen at the local and state level.
I do not want to be murdered. I do not want my husband, my friends, my colleagues, my allies, or my family to be murdered. We need action. I plead to you as your constituent that you help stand for all families — not by post facto moments of silence but preemptive laws and stances that keep weapons of destruction out of the hands of anyone who would use them against their fellow man.An Open Letter to a Representative on Orlando, June 2016 — Read the full letter

Enter your address or zip code to identify your representatives at every level — federal, state, and local. Know their names, their positions, their voting records.
Research the bills and policies that matter to you. Understand how your representatives have voted and where they stand. Be informed before you make contact.
Call their offices, write letters, send emails, attend town halls. Be specific, be personal, be persistent. Your story and your voice are the most powerful tools you have.
These are just some of the issues where constituent voices make a real difference. Find your representative and tell them where you stand.
