Choose some other issue in counseling that you would like to advocate for. Send a letter or email to your local politician (state or federal) to share your opinion and encourage her or him to take action.
Be sure to include the following:
1. Clearly state the issue and your position.
2. Support your position with at least two facts, perhaps pulled from the readings. (In other words, don’t just suggest that AA meetings should be held in jails. Provide some evidence that it would be an effective and legal thing to do. By the way—several state Supreme Courts have suggested that it isn’t legal to mandate 12-step meetings in jails because of the references to a Higher Power)
3. Call the politician to a specific action—ask her or him to do something specific.
4. Thank them for their attention.
