Next Tuesday, January 24th from 12-1pm we will be hosting a Call-in to representatives in GF5.
If you did the Epipen call-in back in October, it will be the same idea.
We will have scripts and representatives phone numbers provided. Should be quick and we'll provide Starbucks coffee.
You can either ask your senator/house rep to stand up for an issue or thank them for representing your values.
