Contact Your Representatives
Getting involved with the LWVC and contacting your representatives are two important steps toward building a more engaged and inclusive democracy. One of the most effective ways to make your voice heard is by contacting your representatives, whether it be your local city council member or a member of Congress. Your elected officials are there to represent your interests and values, and by sharing your thoughts and concerns, you can help shape policy and hold them accountable.
