Help us spread our statement

Share https://18f.org/ in your personal social media channels.

Tell your 18F story

• Share your personal story with 18F on your social media channels. Heartfelt stories and concrete examples about 18F’s impact can help change hearts and minds.

Contact your elected officials

• Find your elected officials (2 senators and 1 representative) at https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials.
