Elected officials need to know what their constituents think. Given the surge of energy and attention opportunity and economic mobility is receiving, this is an exciting moment to advocate and engage local, state and federal elected officials around the Opportunity Index.
Share the Opportunity Index with your local, state and congressional representatives so they can use this data tool to #ExpandOpportunity in your communities. And don’t stop with just your state and federal elected officials! It’s important to reach out to your mayor and city council members as well.
Tweet at your elected officials to introduce them to the Opportunity Index and show them how it measures your state ranking on the Opportunity Index and your county Opportunity Grade A-F. Let’s encourage our elected officials to #ExpandOpportunity!
As you can see below, this is a simple yet effective way to reach your elected officials:
