visit your representatives
Family Pride on Feb 6th 2007
With a new legislative session in full swing, it’s time to introduce your family to your elected officials. Research shows that non-LGBTQ people are more likely to support family equality if they know three or more LGBTQ people personally.
Keep in mind, your representatives include more than just congress-people; you may want to visit school board members, the mayor or local council members. Map out bus routes, hop in the mini-van or walk down to your local district offices. If you can’t get to the office in person, write a letter or make a phone call. Decisions are being made now that affect our families - every effort makes change.
At Family Pride, we know that small actions result in big change. To discover small actions that you and your family can take to increase the visibility of LGBTQ families, visit our publications and download 52 ways to be OUTSpoken.
