Toolkit
Don’t just read about our legislature — participate. Use these tools to track bills, contact lawmakers, vote, and follow the money.
-
Legislative Calendar
Check committee calendars to know what issues are being discussed, and when. It’s important to email specific committees about their bills before they go to the floor.
-
Read Bills
Read the bills if you want the actual language and full details of what’s being proposed. If you see something you don’t like, email your reps.
-
Share Testimony
Giving public testimony in the House and Senate is one of the biggest ways you can directly impact the legislature. Sign up to speak on bills that matter.
-
E-Mail a Committee
If you don’t want to testify in person, email a committee before the 2nd or 3rd reading of a bill and share your thoughts for them to consider.
-
Find Your Legislator
Contact your representatives directly by email and share your thoughts and concerns. The squeaky wheel gets the grease.
