I think emailing your Representatives is the best option. Your vote has the biggest impact to them. Emailing others can’t hurt either, but may not be as impactful since you are not someone who’s vote they are trying to win.

Every little bit DOES help! 🙂

I just wrote a very detailed email to my Representative. Should I post my letter somewhere?? Should I also email the other Representatives even though they are not my own?

It’s completely possible and, I think, very likely that a lot of them do not realize it. It looks like Jim supported it before introducing his legislation. My guess is that he supported it and then realized what it would mean for animal testing. I’m not sure if they are able to change their support of the act or not.

I have reached out to a few and some had no idea while others said that providing natural cosmetics was a bigger focus for their brand. I think that a lot of brands are just unaware. On paper, the act sounds great! Their FAQ statement about animal testing is not clear about the impact the act would have on animal testing practices either. While I do know of a couple of brands, I think that reaching out to the brands you already support and purchase is the best way to have an impact. There are definitely way more brands supporting it than I am aware of.
