grassroots efforts

Building and sustaining relationships with lawmakers is a critical component of defending and advancing federal, state and local merit shop policies impacting ABC membership and the construction industry.

Click for Step-by-step Instructions
Through the ABC Action app, you can send letters to members of Congress with just one click, receive instant notifications for grassroots and legislative alerts, access the voting records of your representatives on key ABC issues, find detailed contact information for federal and state lawmakers and check out state-specific policy information in the Merit Shop Scorecard.

What can you do?
  • Download the ABC Action app for iPhone and Android smartphones. The app is an advanced advocacy tool that enables users to take action in grassroots campaigns and push for pro-merit shop legislation in Congress.

  • Take the time to write, call or visit representatives in-person, they listen and take what you say into consideration. Your story CAN change their view on the issues that affect you, your employees and your community.

  • Work with your chapter government affairs committee to identify legislation to key-vote during a state legislative session
    ​
  • Contact your chapter President if you would like to do an Action App alert to members in conjunction with an upcoming vote.

"I could research all of the important legislative issues affecting me in the construction industry and communicate seamlessly with my elected officials on the hill.  Everyone involved in the construction industry should get and use this."

"This is a great app for engaging members of Congress on Construction related issues. Also, good for finding out about current issues affecting the construction industry."
