SOcial Work

---

We need your help to make a difference in getting the Social Work Compact across the finish line during the 2025 legislative session. 

Review the Attached Vote YES Template:

• Open the attached advocacy Vote YES template.
• Copy and paste the edited letter into your email.
• If you like, personalize it with your own experiences and perspectives to make it more impactful.

Send Your Email:

• Copy and past the legislator’s email addresses into your email message. Try sending a separate email Senate Committee to avoid bounce backs/undeliverable messages.  
• Copy and paste the edited letter into your email. 
• Craft a compelling subject line that includes both "SB 174 VOTE YES" and "Social Work Compact," such as "Vote Yes on SB 174 - Interstate Social Work Licensure Compact." This ensures that even if legislators only see the subject line, your message will still make an impact.
• Send the email.

What to expect/Follow Up:

• Don't worry if you don't receive a response. Legislators receive numerous emails daily and often have limited staff during non-session times, making it difficult to reply to everyone. What truly matters is that they see an inbox filled with subject lines requesting their support for passing the Social Work Compact.
• If you receive a response, be sure to follow up and continue the conversation.
• Share any feedback or responses with our team (my contact information is below).
• Feel free to share this email message and letter template broadly among your networks!
