L.O.C.A.L. Letters to Your U.S. Representative
See the Federal Official Letter Templates Google Doc for at least 12 different letter templates!
The Problem
Our democracy, our rights, and the well-being of everyday Virginians are under attack. From threats to Social Security and Medicare to the erosion of voting rights, press freedom, and constitutional checks and balances, extremist politicians are putting their own political interests above the needs of their constituents. If we don’t act, these dangerous trends will continue, leaving our communities more vulnerable and our voices silenced.
The Agreement
We all believe that leaders should work for the people they represent—not for party politics or special interests. Our elected officials should protect democracy, uphold the rule of law, and ensure that every Virginian has access to opportunity and security. But they won’t take action unless they hear from us.
The Solution
That’s why we’ve made it simple and fast to contact U.S. Senators and demand action on the issues that matter most. We’ve compiled a collection of pre-written letters that you can send in just a few clicks.
It's EASY: Choose a letter, personalize it if you want, and submit it through the Action Network tool.

⚠️ Attacks on voting rights, making it harder for people to participate in democracy.
⚠️ Increased political violence, threatening public safety.
⚠️ Abandoning Ukraine, emboldening Putin and other dictators.
