Description
We are all feeling the heat in Arizona - literally and metaphorically. So much is going on - losing our healthcare subsidies, extreme temperatures, and crazy home prices.
It’s time to take a deep breath and make a plan to voice our concerns. Try doing some watercolor to calm your nerves as you come up with ideas.
Here are three ways to advocate for you and your loved ones.
Attend public meetings: Stay informed about SRP and APS, they hold meetings regarding rate hikes and housing policies. This is where decisions happen. Mark your calendar and literally go sit in the room. Your presence forces them to look the community in the eye. Even better? Go up to the mic and share your story!
Call your local lawmakers: Don't wait for an election to find your voice. Call your representatives today. Leave a message about how these costs are actually affecting your life. Remember, our elected officials work for we the people!
Get creative: Channel that crafty energy. Make a sign, write a letter to the editor or representative, make a video, share your story through art.
Your passion, creativity, and diligence are your superpowers! Arizona deserves a future as bright as our culture. Staying silent is not an option, we owe it to not only ourselves, but our past and future generations. #ad
