Your script

— say it your way; the ask is the bold part

"Hi, my name is Jordan Diaz, I'm a constituent from Springfield. I'm calling about HB-204, the bill banning the sale of dogs from testing-supply breeders. I'm asking Rep. Marsh to vote yes in committee on July 20. Facilities like Marshall Farms breed thousands of beagles a year for laboratory testing — Illinois shouldn't be a market for that. Can I count on the Representative's support?"

If they say the rep is undecided

"What would help the Representative decide? I'm happy to have our policy team send materials."

If voicemail

Leave the whole script — name and city first. Voicemails get tallied too.

Know before you go

☮️Strictly nonviolent. Marshals in orange vests have final say — if they say move, move.
📍Stay on the public right-of-way — the sidewalk south of the gate. Do not block the driveway.
📱Legal support hotline on the back of your sign — write it on your arm too.
🪧Signs provided, or bring your own — approved slogans in the materials pack ↗
