Goal: The entire campaign up to this point has stated how you want your representative’s votes and actions to change in Congress. Once your coalition makes it to this step, it will be in a stronger position to win on substantive demands you make to legislators.

1. Reiterate the demands and highlight whether your representative lives up to them

At public appearances and key moments of public attention, organize people to make calls to hold your legislator to your coalition’s demands and to any promises he or she made to the community.
