PLANNING YOUR FIRST DISTRICT OFFICE VISIT
(Excerpted from The Indivisible Guide)
Why visit a district office? Because these visits work.
As they discuss in the Indivisible Guide, every Member of Congress has one or more local offices, but constituents very rarely visit them.
- Planning a district office visit.
- Decide your “ask” and make it relevant.
- Decide who you want to speak with and who from your group will talk.
- Prepare talking points so that you have a plan for what to say.
