Discussion and debate guide
Influence legislation
Call, email, or visit your members of Congress (state or national) usa.gov [8]
Once you have expressed your preference to your elected representative, monitor the progress of the legislation. [7] Up-to-date information [6] will allow you to follow up your efforts with the member of Congress whom you contacted to thank them or pressure them further.
Participate in local advocacy
By responding to local news items and demonstrating your interest in promoting health access, you can impact local opinion [9].
