How to Contact Congress
How to make your voice heard
There are several ways to get in touch with your legislators—meetings, phone calls and letters are all effective means of communication depending on the topic and how much time you have to commit. To obtain contact information, visit their individual websites, which you can find by going to www.senate.gov or www.house.gov. Each website contains information about how to contact their offices both in Washington, DC and their home district. The website may also contain information about local events such as town hall meetings in their districts, which also serve as opportunities for interaction.
