Make your voice heard
Go to SAO's take action page to send pre-drafted letters on a variety of issues or write your lawmakers a letter on issues that matter most to you.
Make your presence known
Attend your lawmakers' in-district events. Check out your lawmakers' website to keep up with when they’re hosting events or townhalls.

Build a relationship with your lawmakers' staff by sending them an email, making a phone call, or introducing yourself at your lawmakers' events.
In-person meetings leave lasting impressions
