SUMMARY:The Change Maker's Playbook: Master Contacting Your Representative
DESCRIPTION:RSVP\n\n\n\nThis event will teach Americans how to find their representative\, contact them\, and use their voice to bring about change! Everyone will be encouraged and given the time to contact their representative on the call. \n\n\n\nSince the 2024 election\, many Americans have felt overwhelmed\, out of control\, lost\, angry\, and a slew of other emotions. All of which are valid. The purpose of this event is to take that frustration and channel it for good.  \n\n\n\nWe’re not going to be stuck in anger\, but instead use that as fuel for change. \n\n\n\nTogether\, we will take the next step and advocate for ourselves\, communities\, States\, and the Country.  \n\n\n\nThe virtual nationwide call is an event in The Change Maker’s Playbook series. It’s also a segment of Macaila Britton’s newsletter series\, sharing simple tips and actions we can take as citizens to make the world feel hopeful\, safer\, more just\, and equal. \n\n\n\nThe bite-sized information focuses on taking action as a way to break the cycle of political and social overwhelm.
