Action 1: Tell Biden to Lower Drug Prices
There are many ways to drive people to act. The most common and impactful is always direct contact -- it’s why we call, text, and knock on doors. But, we never quite reach everyone and you can’t support what you can’t imagine.
When we write a letter to the editor, we are driving the public perception of what is accepted and what is popular. We speak out to challenge the idea of what is possible. In doing so, we add to the public chorus of voices pushing our representatives to act for the benefit of the people.
One in four Americans struggles to afford their essential medications. We can not afford to wait for a legislative fix while Big Pharma lines its pockets! We need President Biden to use his existing authority to unilaterally lower drug prices right now while we continue to push for a more permanent legislative solution. Write to your local paper today and tell them why all Americans need affordable access to prescription drugs.

Action 2: Conversation with Sara Knizhnik and David Chipman
Why is the rate of gun violence so high in the U.S.? Why is it so hard to get elected officials in Washington to take action? What is the ATF and what do they do?
We all have questions. If you want yours answered, please join Lake County Board candidate Sara Knizhnik and ATF Special Agent (Retired) and Biden's former nominee to head the ATF, David Chipman on April 26 from 7-8pm CST for a virtual conversation. Register here. Tickets start at $10.
