Important Action Steps

1. For each bill, call the assigned legislators’ district offices on Fridays. Phones need to ring off the hook.
2. Meet with legislators. Make an appointment with your legislator to formally register your opposition with their office and discuss your opposition. They are in their district offices on Fridays.
3. Email legislators to voice your opposition. Using the attached spreadsheet, you can copy and paste every single legislator’s email address into the bcc field of your email and blast out your comment to all their offices with one click.
4. Make sure to both register your opposition with the legislative offices AND through the legislative portal to be included in the legislative record.

* Always maintain a professional and respectful tone. Email all legislators, but focus calls on the (D) legislators.
