Last month started the 82nd Legislative Session. This Session is crucial because many agencies such as Mosaic Family Services will be in the shadow of an $18 billion shortfall in the budget. Here are ways to let your legislators know that compromising services for domestic violence victims in order to satisfy a budget is NOT acceptable:
1. Visit your legislator’s local office and let them know how important continued
funding is for domestic violence programs.
2. Spread the word through the various avenues of social media, such as Facebook and Twitter by posting something like: “Texas has to make major budget cuts; make sure services for domestic violence won’t be sacrificed.”
3. Find your legislator on Facebook, Twitter, or write a letter them know important this is to you.
4. Call your legislator.
The beauty of democracy is that legislators will listen, IF they hear from you.
It only takes:
• 50 emails
• 10 letters
• 5 calls OR
• 1 visit to persuade a legislator.
These actions make a difference and YOU CAN BE that difference!
