Waves of Action to STOP Underrides!

Add your voice to the STOP Underrides National Town Hall. On April 15, Town Hall participants heard from STOP Underrides Bill sponsors and a few families who have lost loved ones due to the preventable underride problem. Then we learned how to take simple action steps during the event to encourage our U.S. legislators to support the Stop Underrides Act.

Now we want to continue that Wave of Action. Follow these simple STOP Underrides Action Steps to send a strong message to your Members of Congress. You’ll be shown step by step how to write a simple script. Then use that script to send an email, record a video selfie, make a phone call, and post on social media.

Inspire others to do the same by using one of the sample social media posts included in the instructions. Use this virtual “sticker” on social media:

It has a QR code with a link to the email action alert — giving your viewers a simple way to add their voice and keep the Waves of Action going.
