Email tips

Elected officials serve the people - and want to know how their constituents feel. Here are some tips for writing an effective email, or script for a phone call.

Identify yourself as a constituent: tell them where you live and that they are your elected representative. For example: "I live on Hunts Point Ave in the Bronx, in your district."

State your concerns. For example: "Our neighborhood's rates of childhood asthma are among the highest in the city."

Tell your story: Offer some brief detail on how you see this environmental health issue affecting you and the people you know. For example: "Last year, my daughter was diagnosed with asthma, and this issue is a challenge for our whole family."

Cite data: For example: "According to data on housing conditions, 75% of renters' households in our neighborhood have maintenance problems that threaten health. (NYC Environment and Health Data Portal: https://a816-dohbesp.nyc.gov/IndicatorPublic/data-explorer/housing-maintenance/?id=2399#display=map)"

Make a request: You can ask them where they stand on the issue, what they're doing to improve it, or what services are available to help their constituents.
