With our vote, we give power to representatives who share the mission of keeping our kids safe.
We have the power to elect people who will vote in favor of bills that give bigger and better tools to parents and guardians, tools that will help keep kids safe while they are online.
Our federal lawmakers are divided in many ways. One of the ways they are divided is by belonging to either the Senate or the House of Representatives.
Voters in each state elect two people to represent them in the United States Senate

To determine the elected officials in the House of Representatives, each state is divided into districts.
These districts are based on population.

We also have elected officials who craft state laws.
We saw this in action when the Supreme Court overturned the federal ruling on Roe v. Wade. After this Supreme Court decision, voters in each individual state were asked to cast their ballot to determine the abortion law in their state.
The framework of state governments is modeled after the federal government. In the majority of states, there are state
senators and state representatives (or Assemblymembers).

There are several effective ways to let your representative know that keeping kids safe online is your priority.
Messaging them on their website, sending them an email, snail mail a letter, and calling them are all effective ways to give feedback to your elected officials.
