Resources for Activists
ACT encourages everyone to become actively involved in democracy by getting informed and taking action. The following resources will help you find and contact your legislator, participate in Texas Commission for Environmental Quality decision making, and research issues.
Note: This page will be updated throughout the 81st Legislative Session. If you are looking for a type of resource that has not been included, please email info@acttexas.org – we will do our best to answer your request and make the resource available on the page.
