If you work within an active advocacy organization, you probably have an interest in seeing Capitol Hill adopt a new, standardized communications protocol to better allow your organization and constituents to communicate directly with Congress.

For the past year The Congressional Management Foundation, a non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to promoting a more effective Congress, has worked to address the increasing barriers to citizen engagement put in place by Capitol Hill by forming the Communicating with Congress Coalition. After a year of working to find how citizens are communicating with Congress and what motivates them to do so, CMF has now published the initial findings from its nationwide survey, as well as outlined a new model for constituent communications that will enable Capitol Hill offices to efficiently process the large volume of messages generated by grassroots advocacy campaigns in the Coalition’s Recommendations for Improving the Democratic Dialogue.

Now it’s your turn to make a difference:

CMF wants to hear your feedback on the Coalition’s survey report and recommendations by filling out the CMF survey by this Friday, July 18th. This input will be used in making the final recommendations to Congress in the group’s next August meeting on Capitol Hill.

Let your voice be heard and help make a difference in the way advocacy organizations communicate with Congress!
