Contact Legislators: How to Reach Your Representatives

This thread is the central hub for contacting Wisconsin state legislators about cannabinoid policies and related legislation.

Share resources for finding your representative’s contact information, including email addresses, phone numbers, and mailing addresses.

Feel free to post scripts, templates, and talking points for writing effective emails or making phone calls. Discuss best practices for telling your story, explaining your position, and asking for specific actions.

If you receive feedback or responses from legislators, please share your experiences to help others learn what works. This space is meant to support professional, respectful civic engagement.

End of the Wisconsin Assembly Legislative Session was Feb 19th (The Senate finished about a month later) and they have not advanced any cannabis bills, so let’s tell them that we are still thinking of them! If you used these action alerts already, who cares, use them again!

The more effective technique is to call, but we realize not everyone will call or build a relationship with their elected officials, but we must engage, NOW. Please, if you have already used these forms, use them again, we need to flood our legislators offices with support and opposition for these bills…KEEP UP THE ACTIVISM, IT IS ALL HANDS ON DECK RIGHT NOW! Watch for these people out in the wild asking for your votes this election cycle!

I saw an Assembly Democrat Lee Snodgrass (Wisconsin Cannabis Activist Network awarded Cannabis Legislation Leader Award to Snodgrass in Oct 2024) circulate this survey and it looks like it is going to be directed or shared by all Assembly Dems, so watch for it, but we should all complete this, with emphasis on saving hemp first campaign and also include the other topics that are important to you.

New Action Alert:

The fight to save hemp just reached a critical turning point.

The White House has officially called on Congress to revise the impending federal hemp ban and ensure the “fair treatment of hemp products.” This is an extraordinary development and a direct acknowledgment that the current law goes too far and risks devastating an entire American industry.
