Host a Legislative Breakfast
Hosting a legislative breakfast is one of the best ways to strengthen relationships between legislators and constituents. Breakfasts are fun, low-pressure opportunities to familiarize legislators with a cause and, ultimately, put a face on an issue.
The goals of a legislative breakfast are to:
- educate legislators (or their aides!) about workforce issues
- showcase the efforts of an organization
- build relationships with your elected officials and become resources for them
For more information, please email info@campaignct.org.
Write a Letter to Your Elected Officials
Letters are vitally important when it comes to advocacy. Constituents must keep their legislators informed of the issues that are affecting them, and well-written communications can often influence votes.
Mailed letters remain effective, but emails and faxes are equally acceptable methods of communication. They will also arrive more quickly than a traditionally-mailed letter.
Testify at a Public Hearing
Public legislative hearings are opportunities to raise awareness. Anyone is welcome to speak at these hearings, which are usually held at the beginning of the legislative session.
The Connecticut General Assembly website provides a valuable resource for anyone looking to speak at a hearing. (http://www.cga.ct.gov/olm/yourvoice.asp)
