CÓMO PARTICIPAR
Steps to Get Started
-
Learn where the bill is in the legislative process.
-
If there is an upcoming hearing, decide how you would like to get your voice heard and take action.
-
If there is not an upcoming hearing, or if you want to supplement your advocacy, call or write your legislators.
-
Spread the word and get other people on board.
Participating in a Hearing
INICIAR SESIÓN PRO, CON u OTRO
This is when individuals, advocates, and organizations make their position on a particular bill known for the record. This is particularly powerful in large numbers. Many organizations will send out Action Alerts asking people to sign in Pro or Con on a bill.
PRESENTAR TESTIMONIO ESCRITO
Submitting written testimony is a great way not only to make your position known, to legislators but also to explain why in more detail. This is a good option if you don't want to speak in front of others. People also like to offer more nuance to their position by writing.
TESTIFICAR VIRTUALMENTE
Since COVID, many legislators are allowing remote/virtual testimony for bill hearings, as it greatly expands access to the legislative process across the state. For this, individuals usually have between 1-2 minutes to state their opinion on a bill in front of the legislative committee on Zoom.
TESTIFICAR
EN PERSONA
To testify on a bill in person, you must travel to Olympia and join the real-time committee hearing on the Capitol campus. You will also get between 1-2 minutes to state your opinion. This is often a powerful way to make an impression on legislators in the room.
