Empowering Arizona Citizens for Effective Congressional Voice
Congressional offices receive tens of thousands of automated bot emails every week, and legislative staff are forced to filter and discount them. AZparticipate equips ordinary constituents in Arizona's 6th Congressional District—especially retirees with the time to focus—with fact-checked, one-page briefs and talking points so your personal calls and letters carry undeniable credibility.
How It Works in 3 Steps
By mirroring the internal staffing structure of the House of Representatives, every communication is targeted directly to the staffer who manages that issue.
Mirror Office Portfolios
We organize into 5 citizen Issue Teams that align directly with the policy portfolios of the Representative's Legislative Assistants in Washington, DC, and Caseworkers in Arizona.
Explore the 5 Teams →Fact-Checked 1-Page Briefs
Each team prepares concise, evidence-based Issue Briefs. An independent Fact Reviewer verifies all source links, CBO estimates, and bill citations before any brief is published.
View Public Research →Personal Constituent Voice
When key votes arise, we issue Action Alerts with call scripts and personal story prompts. Members call or write the office themselves—speaking in their own authentic voice.
