The MN ACEP Action Alerts are an effective tool to increase our advocacy efforts by encouraging members to get involved on the specific subjects we identify that will impact EM, EM physicians, and your patients. Action Alerts are an easy outreach from you to your legislator, asking them to take a specific action on a particular topic. Here is a step-by-step guide for you.
Step 1: Background Information
Step 2: Sample Messaging
Here is a sample message you can send to your legislator. Please keep in mind that adding a personal touch, such as a story of how this issue has impacted you or a patient, will have greater impact. However, any outreach is appreciated and helps in our efforts.
Step 3: Reach Out to Your Legislator
Now is the time to take action. Using the sample messaging above, or your own messaging, reach out to your legislator.
