Join a Lobbying Team

Lobbying Teams "make the call" to provide rapid contact, rapid response and result reporting during the state legislative sessions.

Rapid contact: Lobbying teams are rapid response teams of 4 or more people who can be contacted during the workday by text message (cell or email).

Rapid Response: LT members quickly call their state representative and/or senator. LTers deliver the message needed to support our legislative efforts.

Results Reporting: In addition they report back the results of their contact within an appropriate time frame so that it may be used in planning and prioritizing efforts.

As an LT member you will be provided with the information, contacts, and support you need to "make that call."

Sign up for action alerts

Action alerts and legislative reports provide actions you can take both in terms of direct and lobbying actions. They may include Illinois NOW Actions, Chapter Actions, Coalition Member Action, National NOW Actions and so forth.
