Other Ways for Would-be Abolitionists to Help
|
"Express your support to us [the office of the attorney general], anytime, we will add that to the report," said Cordray of ways for the common citizen to help. "Contact your local state representatives and state senators. Tell them that with growing awareness of this issue, you want them to support stronger legislation."
Many anti-slavery events have tables set up where you can write your own letter to government officials. Handwritten personalized letters send a stronger message, but e-mailing helps, too.
