How to Submit Testimony
Legislation is decided by those who speak out and show up.
Submitting testimony on legislation is crucial because it allows citizens to influence the lawmaking process directly. It provides a platform for individuals to voice their opinions, share their experiences, and offer expertise to lawmakers, potentially shaping the outcome of proposed laws. By participating in the legislative process through testimony, citizens play an active role in shaping their government and strengthening democratic principles.
