Elected officials listen to their constituents, so it is important that we use every opportunity to make our voices heard on important sexual and reproductive health, rights, and education issues.
The first two steps to standing up for reproductive freedom are registering to vote and knowing who your elected officials are.
Next steps:
- Send a Letter By Postal Mail To Your Elected Officials: Elected officials always appreciate hearing from you. A personalized letter sends a powerful message about your support for reproductive rights.
- Call Your Elected Officials: Sometimes, key issues go up to vote and there is not enough time to write your legislator a letter. In these cases, making a call and talking to an elected official (or their staff member) is critical to ensure your voice is heard.
- Send a Letter To The Editor: Support reproductive freedoms by making yourself heard in your local newspaper.
