Legislative Asks
Members of Congress and their staff need all voters to share their thoughts and feelings about particular issues. That’s why IIRAH recognizes that it’s vitally important to communicate with our elected officials. Thus, we write to our elected officials and seek opportunities to testify at legislative committee meetings.
