How to Help

Every time a message gets sent using the “Contact Me” form on your Representative or Senator’s website, your message gets logged, which helps to put SHINE on Member’s and staffer’s radars. Every message helps to demonstrate widespread support that cannot be ignored! The more, the better!

As a constituent, your voice has the power to compel your lawmakers to address stillbirth as a public health crisis and assist in getting SHINE passed before the end of this year! Every call gets logged and helps to put stillbirth and SHINE on your Member’s and staffer’s radar! Calls are quick and easy- you can always leave a message after hours!!

Tweet/X Your Members of Congress and let them know that we need their leadership on SHINE or thank them for their support if they’ve signed on as a cosponsor. Click the link below for sample messages and a list of Member’s social media handles.

We will contact you about simple but impactful ways you can help, like making phone calls and sending emails to your elected officials.

Stay up to date about our progress and help us spread the word about SHINE. Each like, comment, and share helps!

Your baby matters. Sharing your stillbirth story can have a powerful impact on elected officials and move them to support SHINE.

SHINE Friends help us with web design, social media, press, etc.

SHINE Stars are volunteers who work with SHINE leadership to organize constituent support for SHINE in their home states.

The SHINE Leadership Team and SHINE Stars are volunteers, but we are raising money to cover expenses associated with passing SHINE.

Members of Congress return home periodically. Check their websites or call their offices to find out about local events for constituents. Then attend an event, introduce yourself, and kindly ask them to support/co-sponsor the bipartisan SHINE for Autumn Act.
