Michael Sullivan, PhD, assistant executive director of state advocacy at APA, says psychologists can boost their involvement in state advocacy in several ways: * Join a state association; they are psychology's voice in the state capitals. * Sign up for legislative days or grassroots networks where psychologists are urged to send e-mails, write letters to or call legislators, or make in-person visits to representatives. * Become active on a state legislative committee or task force. * Work on state legislators' campaigns. * Run for public office.

'Keep on keepin' on' is the mantra for state legislative efforts
