Calling For 2-1-1 Act
"Pass 2-1-1 before the August Recess!"
Currently available in 80% of the country, 2-1-1 is an easy-to-remember number that helps people cut through what can be a confusing and overwhelming maze of information and resources. 2-1-1 helps people assess their needs and links them directly to the resources that will help. Whether a person is contemplating starting a small business, looking for volunteer opportunities in his/her community or seeking information on essential services - job training, employment, food pantries, help for an aging parent, addiction prevention programs for their teenage children, affordable housing options, support groups and ways of becoming part of their community - 2-1-1 is there to help. 2-1-1 Centers nationwide are in a position to secure federal funding for 2-1-1 to ensure that all citizens - everywhere - have access to vital resources. Take Action Today! Help pass the Calling for 2-1-1 Act. Contact your member of Congress and ask him to tell Chairman Waxman and Speaker Pelosi to get the bill to a vote. It's Easy! Go to Contact Government for contact information. Talking Points When Contacting Your Member of Congress Everyone within the 2-1-1 movement is needed to participate in intense national, state and local campaigns to secure the passage of the Calling for 2-1-1 Act. (Here is the proposed Senate legislation: S.211; and the proposed House of Representatives legislation: H.R.211.)
The momentum is building!! At 246 co-sponsors in the House and 61 co-sponsors in the Senate, we are well past our original goal of 220 and 60 co-sponsors!!
