Call Your Legislators! Tell them West Virginians WANT Reproductive Freedom!

The full page ad below ran in the Sunday edition of the Charleston Gazette-Mail newspaper.

Call your legislators today! Tell them West Virginians WANT reproductive freedom and bodily autonomy, not forced birth after rape and incest, and not imprisonment of our medical professionals and doctors.

Remember, our state legislators work for us. Here are a few tips to keep in mind when contacting your elected officials:

• Make sure to identify yourself as a constituent. Many legislators are inclined to ignore communications from people who live outside of their district.
• If calling, be sure to call until someone answers. Only leave a voicemail as a last resort.
• Share a personal story about why you fight for abortion justice if you have one.

You can contact your legislators in a couple of ways:
