  • Advocacy 101
    ADVOCACY 101 Best Practices Toolkit Updated January 2017 Best Practices for Calling Your Legislator A few calls into an office over a short period of time can bring an issue to the attention of your legislator in a big way! When making a call remember the following tips: When connecting to a legislator’s office, let the staffer know that you are a constituent or community member and what issue or bill you are calling about. More than likely you’ll speak only with the staffer who will relay the message to your elected official. Keep it simple and brief. Staff receive a high volume of phone calls every day, so state your name, how you want your lawmaker to vote and why, and thank staffers for their time. Know your facts. Have the basic information about the bill in front of you when you call and be able to specifically name and describe the bill and your opinion on what your legislator should do. Don’t sweat the hypothetical unanswerable question. Some advocates worry that they will be asked a question they don’t know how to answer. Staffers typically focus on recording the message rather than asking for intricate details; however, if they do ask a question that you don’t know the answer to, tell them you’ll find out and call back. Just remember to follow up with the information! Be courteous and respectful – like your mama taught you. Best Practices for Writing Your Legislator Concise, well thought-out personal letters are one of the most effective and time-honored traditions of influencing South Carolina lawmakers.
