In order to foster grassroots involvement, PSW has formed PLAN, a
network of Wisconsin pharmacy professionals who contact their
legislators on crucial health care issues when needed. Its basic
function is to let legislators know how a respected and trusted health
care professional in their district wants them to vote on an issue.
How Does PLAN Work?
- Sign up for PLAN on the form to the left.
- PSW staff will send you an “Action Alert” email when a topic of
interest to pharmacy comes up in a proposed policy change. The “Action
Alert” includes background information on the issue, as well a letter
template that you can send to your elected officials.
- All you have to do is sign into your PSW account, make any desired
changes to the letter (or leave it as is if you prefer), and click send.
That’s it! Your email is immediately sent to your elected officials.
Benefits of PLAN
- Members receive an “Action Alert” when there is a new advocacy campaign that includes background information on the issue.
- PLAN members are provided a letter template that can be sent to
legislators as written, or the member can edit it to make it more
personalized.
- Members do not have to search for who their elected officials are,
how to get ahold of them, or which level of government should be
contacted regarding an issue – simply sign up, enter your address, and
PSW does the rest!
