Inspiration for Your Letters: Weekly Prompts to Connect with Compassion
Writing a letter to your representative can feel like a big task, especially when the divide feels so vast. To help you along the way, we’ve created a series of prompts designed to guide your thoughts, spark connection, and offer you inspiration. These prompts are intended to help you share a piece of yourself with your representative—reminding them, and yourself, of the shared humanity we all have.
A Personal Story of Shared Humanity
Share a moment or experience that deeply impacted you, reminding your representative that we all face similar challenges and joys, regardless of political party. This could be a family tradition, a struggle you've overcome, or something that brought you joy during a tough time. The goal is to show that, despite differences, we share the same human experiences.
A Kind Gesture or Act of Service
Reflect on a small act of kindness that made a significant difference in your life. Maybe it was a neighbor helping you when you needed it most or a stranger who did something unexpected for you. Share that story to remind your representative that even the smallest acts of compassion can have a profound impact and are worth replicating in their work.
A Hope for the Future
Offer a hopeful vision for the future you’d like to see in your community and in the country. It could be something related to the environment, the economy, or social justice. By sharing your hopes, you invite your representative to consider the long-term well-being of the nation and the values that will sustain it.
