Advocacy Action Kit - Small Business Issues

ABA's Advocacy Action Kit (AdvoKit) provides advocacy materials on an ongoing basis.

Edit these template letters to your liking to urge legislators to support key issues affecting independent bookstores and Main Street. Booksellers with questions, that need assistance, or want more information on our advocacy efforts, should contact David Grogan at dave@bookweb.org.
