We are in a position to secure federal funding for 2-1-1. Members of Congress are back in D.C. for 3 weeks in July. Contact the D.C. office via e-mail, phone or fax. Go to www.liveunited.org/211. 

Everyone within the 2-1-1 movement is needed to participate in intense national, state and local campaigns to secure the passage of the Calling for 2-1-1 Act. The momentum is building!! At 243 co-sponsors in the House and 61 co-sponsors in the Senate, we are well past our original goal of 220 and 60 co-sponsors!! Thank you to everybody for your dedication and support.  But until the legislation is actually passed, we cannot afford to rest.
