Please take a moment of your time to call your State Representative and State Senator and send a clear message to them that we can't afford to make more cuts in the services relied upon by Michigan residents. The following are some general talking points for your call. If possible, share stories and data about how your community has been affected and will be affect by cuts in the state budget.
Don't Sit Back and Wait for the Cuts. Make Your Voice Heard to Protect Vital Services - Your Legislators Need to Hear from You Now! Find your representatives here! |
| How to get our voices heard? 1. Know your legislators (Representatives and Senators) 2. Know the legislators who are on the Human Services committee. 3. When meeting with legislators go with a group of their constituents and other organizations – not on your own. 4. Use data – important. Michigan League of Human Services has an excellent website with tons of updated information. Go to www.mlhs.org Please note also that fighting against the present recall (10 Reps and Senators targeted for this recall) is important. The recall creates a dangerous precedent. |
