Give Testimony
Make your voice heard through written and oral testimony on the issues that matter most.
Why Give Testimony?
Testimony is one of the most direct ways to influence legislation and policy. When you testify, whether in writing or in person, you put your perspective and personal story directly in front of the people making decisions.
Legislators and committee members pay attention to constituent testimony. Your voice carries real weight in shaping the laws and policies that affect your community.
Ways to Testify
Written Testimony
Submit written statements to legislative committees. Written testimony becomes part of the official record and can be submitted even if you cannot attend a hearing in person.
Oral Testimony
Speak directly before legislative committees at public hearings. Oral testimony lets you make a personal connection with lawmakers and answer their questions.
Tips for Effective Testimony
Be concise and personal. Share how the issue affects you directly. Stick to one or two key points and be respectful. Your real-life experience is your most powerful tool.
