Become a Legislative Contact Team Member Today
Welcome to one of the
most effective citizen involvement programs on conservation issues in Virginia.
Together with hundreds of volunteers
throughout the Commonwealth, our legislative contact team members have grabbed
the attention of delegates and senators with numerous letters, phone calls,
e-mails, and meetings. Thanks to the work of these volunteers, Virginia’s legislators
are giving unprecedented consideration to natural resource protection.
Not
even the strongest conservation organization wields the influence of a citizen
who communicates directly with his or her elected official. Hundreds of
citizens organized as LCTs, delivering a clear and repeated message to our
General Assembly, have helped to elevate to statewide significance Virginians’
concerns about the future of our communities and natural environment.
We need strong Legislative
Contact Teams to build on this historic momentum and to make sure our elected
leaders fulfill the Commonwealth’s constitutional mandate to protect our land,
air, and water. That is why your involvement is so crucial. As
a new member of your Legislative Contact Team we’re sure you have many
questions.
After you sign up, we will send you a welcome packet. This will give you the information you need to get
underway, including the name of your legislators, as well as the member’s of your team and their contact information in a
table directly following the letter.
Also be sure to check out the Virginia Conservation Briefing Book.
Remember, most legislators report that as few as five
phone calls represent a “groundswell’ of interest on any given issue. Your
input really can make a difference!
Thanks again for your interest and support. We look forward to working with you!
