Want to Be an Environmental Champion? Start Here.
At Indiana Conservation Voters, we know that protecting Indiana’s environment takes more than just passion—it takes action. But if you’ve ever wondered how to effectively advocate for clean air, safe water and renewable energy, we’ve got you covered.
We’re excited to introduce our new downloadable resource: “Being An Active Environmental Champion.” This guide is designed to help supporters like you take simple yet powerful steps to influence environmental policy and make your voice heard by lawmakers.
Why Your Advocacy Matters
Indiana’s natural resources, public lands and environmental policies are shaped by decisions made at the Statehouse. While industry lobbyists and special interest groups have a strong presence in legislative discussions, your voice as a constituent is just as powerful—if not more so. When lawmakers hear directly from voters, they pay attention. That’s why your participation in advocacy efforts is crucial.
What’s Inside the Guide?
This resource outlines the most effective ways to engage in environmental advocacy, whether you have just a few minutes or are ready to take the next step in building relationships with your legislators:
✔ Sign a petition or sign up for updates from a trusted environmental organization.
✔ Submit a customized letter to lawmakers with a message about key environmental issues.
✔ Email your legislator with a personal message about why an issue matters to you.
✔ Call your legislator to make sure they hear directly from constituents.
✔ Attend a third house event to ask questions and learn where legislators stand.
✔ Meet with your legislator one-on-one or in a group to discuss key issues in more depth.
Each action is simple, impactful, and outlined in detail in the guide. Download it today and take the first step toward protecting Indiana’s environment.
