And elected officials want to hear from you.<\/p>\n<p>\ufe0f Advocacy means researching where change can still happen \u2014 and focusing your energy there.<br \/>\nWe want to gently remind everyone: directing complaints toward our organization does not change policy or outcomes. We do not make the decisions that govern the herd.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to make your voice heard in a way that truly matters, stay polite and focus it on Arizona elected officials and policymakers. That is where change happens. \u2696\ufe0f<\/p>\n<p>Because It\u2019s been hard to keep track of all the news pieces \u2014( there are so many.
