Guide for Educating Legislators

ValorUS (formerly the California Coalition Against Sexual Assault CALCASA) created this toolkit to assist you in engaging with your legislators in an easy, straightforward manner.

This toolkit is divided into four parts for easy reference:

1. Why Engage? Grassroots Advocacy Does Have an Impact!
2. Getting Started: Get to Know Your Elected Officials
3. Responding to Action Alerts
4. In-District Meetings
5. Engaging Through Events and Other Activities
6. Ongoing Engagement with Your Legislator and Staff

The appendices provide template letters and tools for you to adapt and use.
