In our
democracy, elected officials represent their
constituents – the people who live in their home
district. The problem is that not everyone “back home”
agrees on how an issue should be addressed. By
communicating our opinions through letters, phone calls
and personal visits, we can relay our thoughts and
feelings about important community challenges.
When we
communicate directly with elected officials, we play an
important role in helping to create policies that are
more just for everyone in our community.
The
following handouts describe how participants can do this by
writing, calling or visiting their representatives.
