How To Tell Governments What You Think

This program seeks to put the “engagement” in civic engagement. Because governments work for the people, it’s important for government officials to hear from ordinary citizens what we think about what they are doing. Yet most of us don’t know how to effectively share our opinions with governments. Join us to learn how to tell government actors across all branches of government what you think about their ideas. This program will teach you broad principles for communicating to policymakers, as well as specific tips for sharing your opinions with Congress, executive branch officials, and even the courts.
