For this round we are going to ask that you reach out to your representative and your Senator.
- If you are not sure who your rep and senator are, use this link to find them. https://malegislature.gov/Search/FindMyLegislator?fbclid=IwY2xjawG7VqFleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHbtYZmE_dnW2r9YDp5feQF0yJHc7ShKGyNL71OuxMEG3En4hKknDgA5IxA_aem_Pi3o6tVx5CEx-MawlW_XJA

Step 1: Make a very polite phone call to your rep and senator and say this: “My name is ___ and I am a constituent in your district. Please ask the leadership to pass H2630 to provide a Fair Fix for R+ before the end of this session. Thank you.”
Step 2: Use the four templates in the attached document as an outline to email your representative and your senator. Please add a personal note or appeal to explain why this issue is important to you. It’s best if you write your own personal appeal and not just copy and paste the template, and as always maintain a friendly and positive tone.
Step 3: Make a post on your personal page about why R+ is important to you, and ask your friends and family who live in Massachusetts to reach out to their reps and senators. You can even share the link to the email template.
