Contact your representatives
Your voice can make a difference.
Senators only care about the state they represent, and Congressional Representatives only care about their own districts. That’s why it’s so important for them to hear directly from constituents about the issues that matter, like the defunding of the SEPA Program.
Using the table below, first, find your SEPA project. Then, click on the Zip Code link and you’ll be taken to a page on the GovTrack website listing the relevant Senators and Congressional Representatives for your SEPA. Click through to each Congressperson’s official website, and use the contact form there to send them a letter using the template linked below. Make sure to list the SEPA Zip Code. Finally, enter your home Zip Code on GovTrack to find and send a letter to your own Representative as well.
Use our template letters to advocate to your representatives.
