Women for a Healthy Environment strives to connect individuals and organizations with access to relevant environmental health resources – and one primary resource is having and utilizing your local, state or federal elected officials’ contact information. Contacting your elected official regarding issues you care about is one of the most integral ways of making change and ensuring the functioning of our representative democracy.
For issues involving local or state policies, use this tool to find contact information for your state representative or senator.
For issues involving widespread or nationwide issues, or law enforcement from federal agencies, use this tool to find contact information for your federal Congressperson.
