Our On behalf of AFS and the Government Affairs Committee, thank you to
those who attended AFS’ virtual Advocacy Summit on Tuesday, May 19. For
those unable to attend, we are sorry we missed you. As a follow-up to
the program, we are providing the following key materials:
1) AFS Call for Action: Reach out to your lawmaker today!
We urge AFS members to call or email their lawmakers about the impact of
the COVID-19 pandemic on their businesses. Ask them to act on the
following issues in the next stimulus or recovery package:
• |
Invest in a robust
American-made infrastructure package. |
• |
Include targeted and
commonsense liability protection for manufacturers related to
the COVID-19 pandemic. |
Please
download this template to send a letter to your elected
officials.
Please
download this DC background information with a link to your
Congressional contacts.
We suggest you tailor the letter to your situation, include economic
impact data, and feel free to add items you would like Congress to act
on. Share feedback from your congressional correspondence with Stephanie
Salmon in the AFS Washington Office at
ssalmon@afsinc.org.
