Overview

As Thomas Jefferson once said, “The government closest to the people serves the people best.” In the current state of affairs, this cannot be underscored enough. 

​Many of the laws and policies that are developed by our legislatures come directly from issues raised by the community. We must invest time and energy to contact our lawmakers and make our voice heard on the issues that matter to us.


There are a wealth of opportunities for residents to engage with their local government. You can testify at a public hearing, write a letter to your representative, or attend a town hall.

Testimonial

"My staff loved your training and thought you were 'phenomenal.' They mentioned how empowered they feel about testifying and making the voice of CFLS heard. So thank you very much."
-Ashley McSwain, Executive Director, Community Family Life Services
