Social Media and Communications Social Media Social Media Social media can be a powerful tool that enables you to connect with elected officials and other policy makers on issues that are important to you. The key is to write clear and concise messages that show the intended recipient of the post why the issue is important and why they should care about it. When possible, provide a specific ask, such as voting for or against particular legislation. Click here to learn more about the different social media platforms you can use.
