You can never contact your representatives too many times. The legislation and policies that congress sponsors has a direct impact on our sexual and reproductive health and rights both in the United States and abroad. Here are a few ways you can get in contact with your representatives to make your voice heard.
Send a letter to your representative's Washington D.C. and state office (you can find addresses on their websites).
Call the Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121 and get connected with your senators or representatives.
Follow your senators or representatives on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter so you can easily reach them.
Whether a one time or monthly contribution, you have the capacity to support us in informing and activating all who care about sexual and reproductive health and rights. Together, we can stop the assault on our basic human rights.
