To Empower:

Contacting your legislators is one of the most effective ways to influence public policy at the local and state level. When elected officials hear directly from informed constituents, it reinforces accountability and ensures community priorities are considered in legislative decisions.

Your voice—especially when joined with others through the League of Women Voters of Johnson County—can shape outcomes before votes are cast.

This Letter Writing Tool Kit generously shared by 100 Grannies, Iowa City, will provide tips to best writing practices, sample advocacy letters, links to contact elected officials and local media outlets - all you need to be empowered to share your voice.

To Advocate:

We urge all citizens to share their questions, thoughts and concerns with their elected officials. And it’s never been easier to share your voice!  Use the streamlined app 5 Calls
