Your representatives want to hear from you
State legislators pay close attention to messages from constituents — especially young people, who vote less often but are directly affected by healthcare decisions. Here's how to make your voice count.
1. Find your representatives
Use your state legislature's district finder to look up who represents you based on your home address.
Pennsylvania
North Carolina
2. Pick a bill that affects you
Browse the Bills Explorer to find legislation tied to the resources you care about — mental health, maternal care, rural hospitals, drug pricing, and more.
3. Send a clear, personal message
Short, specific, and personal messages are more effective than form letters. Here's a template to start from:
Subject: Please support/oppose [Bill Number] — [Bill Title]
Dear [Representative Name],
