We need your help to ensure federal 2-1-1 legislation passes this year.
Please take a moment today to contact your Representative and Senators and ask for their support of the Calling for 2-1-1 Act. While the bill (H.R. 211 in the House, S. 211 in the Senate) enjoys significant bi-partisan support, members of Congress need to hear from you, their constituents, in order to ensure the bill is considered and passed. Your voice will truly make a difference.
How to help |
