Identify your policymakers at the community level: build your foundation!

Your first steps toward engaging local policymakers in your advocacy efforts can be to simply build a working list of your local representatives’ contact information for your Play Committee to access down the road. Get contact information on your local and state representatives.

For your Senate and Congress representatives, check out www.senate.gov and www.congress.gov, respectively.

"Ritual grew up in sacred play; poetry was born in play and nourished on play; music and dancing were pure play...We have to conclude, therefore, that civilization is, in its earliest phases, played. It does not come from play...it arises in and as play, and never leaves it."
– Johan Huizing, Dutch historian, 1872–1945
