Letter templates and call scripts

What are letter templates and call scripts for?

Letter templates and call scripts are for people who may have trouble putting into words what they want. You don't need to follow a template or script exactly, but it can provide a good starting point.

What would I need to write a letter/ make a call about?

Writing letters to and calling people in authority positions is one part of advocating for the rights and dignity of nonbinary people. You may need to write a letter or make a call to advocate for those rights, be it how a school is not recognizing nonbinary genders or if housing is being denied to a nonbinary person. It could be from an issue directly impacting you, someone you know, or as part of a national campaign for nonbinary rights.
