Primary Ask (Leave Behind)
When you hold a lobby meeting, whether with an aide or with a member of Congress, they want to know what actions we want them to take. Our Primary Ask (Leave Behind) sheet lets them know.
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. After your lobby meetings use this form afterwards to provide quick feedback form on EPRA (https://cclusa.org/lobby-feedback).
