Letters to the editor are another way to get your story out for people, especially elected officials, to hear. re:TH!NK members interested in submitting written testimony should contact Emily or Jason ASAP. We will be availble to offer assistance in crafting your testimony and will help with submittting it to the JFC and/or your legislators.
