Advocacy – Contacting your Legislators by E-mail

By using MCA’s Desktop Lobbyist tool, you can learn about current issues affecting the arts in Minnesota, learn who your legislators are, and send emails in a matter of moments.

When emailing a legislator, make sure to include a note in the subject line indicating that you are a constituent, such as “Message from an Arts Supporter in District XX.” Legislators want to hear from their own constituents, but often don’t have the time for others.

Within the body of the e-mail, sign the message and add a home address. Make sure to ask them to write back. “I’m looking forward to your response on this important issue,” for example.
