Florida Legislative Session 2022-DKG Was There for You!

Although the 2022 Legislative Session has now closed, there are still many things that concerned DKG advocates can be doing!
 
Here are some suggestions to continue your Advocacy on behalf of women, children, and education throughout the year:
1. Begin or maintain your relationship with your representative or senator, (either U.S or Florida) by sending messages (phone, email, or U.S. mail) to express your concerns, ideas, or offer congratulations for decisions that you feel will benefit all.  Keep the messages short and to the point!
2. Don’t ignore certain policymakers because they do not belong to your political party. Everyone has an important voice and power.
3. Write your own message rather than using an electronic form that you receive online. The form letters do not carry the weight of personally written messages.
4. Help the members of your chapter to stay informed and to become advocates. Remind them of the power that can be found in numbers. (One phone call may not make a difference, but 20 will).
5. Participate in rallies or marches to support an issue that you care about. Ask others to join you-remember, “showing up” sends a powerful message to lawmakers!
 
“Life always begins with one step outside your comfort zone.”
