Usage Instructions

A primary ask should be made in every meeting. For full instructions for how to use these documents, see the Reviewing Primary & Secondary Asks training.

We recommend using these primary ask resources to help frame the conversation in your lobby meetings. We also recommend emailing the resource to your member of Congress or staffer ahead of your lobby meeting to help them prepare.
