In November, PDA activists delivered letters to more than 350 House and Senate offices. Our national team followed up with faxes and phone calls.

These letter drops and calls take little time, and have tremendous impact. We're gaining new cosponsors for legislation. Join the movement! Contact Conor for more information and to report back after your successful letter drop.
