ACTION PLAYBOOK:
Contact Your Member of Congress
We need bold public policy that matches the scale and urgency of climate change, and Congress is a huge piece of that puzzle.
Phone calls are considered the most effective form of constituent outreach besides face-to-face meetings. According to the Congressional Management Foundation, emails are important and effective, too. A majority of congressional staff members said that fewer than 10 emails from constituents would be enough to get a member of Congress to pay attention to a particular issue.
