LOCAL: Pay attention to what’s happening within your city and county governments. City council and county commissions can pass local ordinances that impact how animals are treated in your community. Attend hearings and voice your opinion. Run for office. STATE: Speak to your state Senator and state House Representative about issues important to you. Animal Folks is working on two state bills this session: Office of Animal Protection bill and Companion Animal Board bill. Help us get support. Need help finding your legislators? Go to: Contact Legislators FEDERAL: Contact your federal legislators and ask what they will do to protect animals through federal laws and improve enforcement of existing federal laws pertaining to animals. To contact your Congressman or Congresswoman, call 1-202-224-3121. This is the Congressional switchboard in Washington D.C.; they will connect you with your U.S. Representative or U.S. Senator. (This is federal, not state.)
