Grassroots Citizen Lobbying

Voters Not Politicians knows the power of collective grassroots action. That’s why in 2023, we launched a unique citizen lobbying program to push for the passage of pro-democracy legislation.

In 2023, when Michigan voters elected a new pro-democracy majority in Lansing, Voters Not Politicians realized this legislative session was the perfect opportunity to launch a new volunteer program: Legislative Liaisons. These volunteers meet directly with their elected officials in the Michigan House and Senate to advocate for Voters Not Politicians’ legislative priorities, such as election funding and ethics reform.

We also mobilize volunteers virtually. Dial for Democracy volunteers receive exclusive email and text alerts to call their lawmakers on legislation or decisions that impact Michigan's democracy, at the exact time during session when constituent calls will be most effective. These alerts will contain info and tips to help everyday citizens have an easy and productive call to their local lawmaker.

What kind of difference does grassroots lobbying really make in our government? Here’s a list of just some of the legislation Voters Not Politicians volunteers have helped get passed this legislative session. 

Are you interested in becoming a legislative liaison? We ask that you attend coffee hours or other in-district events at least monthly, and also attend a monthly meeting with Voters Not Politicians staff for legislative updates. Sign up to join our grassroots citizen lobbying program here.
