Voting is a privilege. A privelage that up to 80 years ago did not exist for women in the US. The suffering and commitment of untold women pioneers changed that--with remarkable results. You owe it to them and yourself to make your vote count. Click here to find out more how you can register to vote in Alabama.

4. Contact your Representatives about issues important to you
Eleanor's E-Tree often updates our members with action alerts--as well as the tools to contact both their State Representatives and National Representatives easily through E-mail, Fax, or letter.

5. Keep Eleanor's E-Tree Informed
Although the E-Tree tries to stay informed of issues effecting woman in Alabama, we can't be everywhere at once. So, if you hear of an issue that you want to see on E-Tree, contact us and let us know about it.

6. Volunteer/Get Involved with one of our partner groups
Our partners are involved with making a difference in the lives of woman everywhere. Most are in need of volunteers and would be grateful for any assistance. Considering taking some time out to make a better future.

7. Be an Advocate
Don't let some offensive comment slide--speak up and take action. At a party, at work, even at a family gathering, inform others of your opinion. You'll be surprised at how often behavior can change when people are called on it. Remember, for most people "silence does equal consent."

8. Meet with your Elected Officials
There is nothing better then meeting face to face with your elected officials and informing them of your concerns. Make a yearly visit to Montgomery, and schedule meetings with your elective representatives.

9. Write letters to your Local Editors
Letters to the editor are great advocacy tools because they reach a large audience, are often monitored by elected officials, can bring up information not addressed in a news article, and create an impression of widespread support for or opposition to an issue. Here are some tips for writing great letters for publications.

10. Stay Positive
In advocacy, too often one can feel like "the lone voice in the wilderness". Know that your time and efforts will make for a better world--and for that, we thank you and urge you to keep fighting the good fight.
