Why this matters

Email your senators.

Senators decide. Personal stories from constituents are the single most effective way to influence how they vote.

What senators most need to hear

  1. 01Tell them you are their constituent (your suburb or town).
  2. 02Share one specific way the Bill would affect you, your child, or your family.
  3. 03Name what you want them to do: pause the vote, restore review rights, or oppose the Bill.
  4. 04End with a clear ask: 'I want to know how you will vote, and why.'

Edit freely. The starter copy is yours to make your own - the more personal, the more powerful.

A note for the Special Rapporteur

ANPA is putting together a complaint about Thriving Kids for the UN Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. If you have a story or concern you'd like included, leave it here and we'll send it on.

Opens your email app with the note ready to send to exec@thisisanpa.org. We gather everything that comes in and forward it with our complaint to the Special Rapporteur.
