- Don’t forget to tag your Members of Congress—they're active on social media and engaging them can amplify your message.
- Use data to strengthen your message on social media. For instance, “We currently have X # of senior meal clients on waiting lists. Without additional funding, this list will lengthen leaving vulnerable seniors without vital meals.”
