Become a Ten-Minute Activist!
Dear League Member:
Interested in voting issues? Solving the transportation crisis? Getting guns away from Connecticut’s children?
We all know that legislators are most responsive to their “hometown” constituents. So…won’t you consider joining the LWVCT Public Issues (PI) Team’s Grassroots Lobby Corps?
You can be involved as much as you wish – but it can be as little as 10 minutes! We are asking you to volunteer to make a phone call or send an email to elected officials on issues of your choosing. Our PI Team specialists provide the expertise, the background information, and e-mailed Action Alerts on your topic of interest. You provide a “voice” from your community—a phone call, a letter to a legislator, or just a “heads-up” to others who might be interested.
Many League members around the state have already signed up to be part of this informal group. But we want YOU, too! The only qualification needed is a desire to make your voice heard on League issues that matter to you. This year, our Public Issues Team specialists will be working on a variety of legislative proposals including Election Laws, Air Quality and Water Supply Protection, Education Funding, Gun Control, Health Care, Transportation, and Waste Management. They need your help! The small amount of time you give can result in big gains for issues that you and other League members care about.
To sign up or to get more information, just email Jean Rabinow at league@snet.net to request the list of lobby corps issues. Once you receive the list, contact Jean via return email to identify which topics interest you , and she will sign you up. It’s that easy! We look forward to hearing from you.
