Alert: New Advocacy Tool
The DAWN team has recently introduced a new tool for advocates to use.
We call it "Take Action". It is a new way to be in touch with your
representatives. It was developed from the people at CapWiz. If you go
to the DAWN home page at: <http://www.dawninfo.org>, you will see the
new Take Action box. Right now there are two bills that are highlighted
with this new tool; the State Budget and the Photo ID. The same bills
will be listed also under the State Disability Issues section on DAWN.
It's easy to use the new tool. Follow the instructions and CapWiz does
the rest. If you need more information about how to use this tool go to
the DAWN web site at:
http://www.dawninfo.org/advocacy/leg/about_takeaction.cfm
Take Action will provide you with text for an email that you can send to
your representatives. Sometimes it will also include a set of "talking
points" that you can add to the email. Sometimes you will be given
information so that you can call your representatives.
People are busy and can't always do everything they want to. Hopefully
this new tool will make it easier for you to send that email or make
that phone call on issues that are important to you. Once you enter
your personal information (ex. name, address, etc.), CapWiz and DAWN
figures out who to send the email to or you get the phone number of your
representatives that allows you to make the call.
We hope this new tool will be an easy way for you to tell your
representatives what you think about pending bills. DAWN intends to use
this new tool for other bills that will be introduced this session, so
check back regularly for updates. DAWN is also developing a short video
to show you how to use this new tool. Look for that to be available
very soon.
