Letter Writing Workshop: Help Educate Lawmakers About Kratom & 7-OH
Across the country, lawmakers are considering policies that could affect access to 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH). Too often, these decisions are made without hearing directly from the people who are most impacted.
That is why 7-HOPE is hosting a virtual Letter Writing Workshop to help supporters learn how to effectively communicate with their elected officials.
Whether you have never written a lawmaker before or have done it many times, this workshop will give you the tools to share your voice in a way that can truly make a difference.
Why This Matters
Lawmakers pay attention when they hear directly from the people they represent. Personal letters and emails from constituents are one of the most powerful ways to influence public policy.
By participating in this workshop, you will learn how to:
- Clearly explain what 7-OH is and why it matters
- Share your personal experience or perspective in a compelling way
- Write respectful, effective messages that lawmakers actually read
- Advocate for science-based policy and responsible regulation instead of prohibition
For many supporters, writing a letter can feel intimidating. Our goal is to make it simple, empowering, and impactful.
What You’ll Learn
During the workshop, we will walk through:
- How the legislative process works
- What lawmakers are looking for when constituents contact them
- How to structure a short, powerful letter or email
- Tips for sharing your story in a way that resonates
- Common mistakes to avoid when communicating with policymakers
Participants will also receive templates, examples, and guidance so you can take action immediately.
Who Should Attend
This workshop is open to:
- Consumers who rely on 7-OH and Kratom
- Family members and supporters
- Advocates for harm reduction and responsible regulation
- Anyone who believes policy decisions should be based on science and real experiences
No advocacy experience is required.
