Local politics leaving you concerned? Let’s write about it!

Social media, email inboxes, and pretty much all other online forms of communications are a bit cluttered nowadays. Wouldn’t you agree? That’s why we’re looking to a tried and true tactic to grab our lawmaker’s attention: handwritten letters!

Join us at Zandbroz in downtown Fargo on March 13 between 5:30 and 7 p.m. and let’s lay out our comments, concerns, and questions regarding legislation we are monitoring, like House Bill 1205. This bill would make it a crime for libraries to offer "sexually explicit" books or books that show nudity or partial nudity to their patrons.

Everyone is welcome to attend to gain a better understanding of how to contact elected leaders at all levels of government and highly encouraged to participate by penning a letter and dropping it in the mail.

Stamps, pens, paper, postcards, and envelopes will be provided for attendees. Just bring your laptop if you would like to type out a letter, we can print it off for you and mail it in. We will have sample letters you can use as a launch point, but highly encourage you to edit and design a letter that reflects you and your concerns.

Can’t attend? Sign up for our emails and get alerted for the next event at aclund.org/alerts or request a letter writing kit to host your own party by emailing [email protected].

Before attending any in-person events, we recommend taking all appropriate COVID-related safety precautions.
