Share Your Story to Create Change

Say What! Projects

Complete the form below to share your story with an elected official. After you submit your story, we will share it with the American Lung Association who will be able to share it with your elected official.

Here are a few tips to help you craft your story:

  1. Identify who you are writing your story to. Is it a specific elected official or is it a committee? You can find who represents you by visiting https://wrm.capitol.texas.gov/home
  2. Make your story personal. Write about an experience you had or maybe a friend’s experience.
  3. Use descriptive words. Try to paint a picture in your story.
  4. Include your name, where you go to school, the city or town you live in.

Here’s a great way to start your story:

“My name is Charlie Gagen, I am a senior at Westlake High School in Austin, Texas in Representative Donna Howard’s district. I’d like to share my experiences and concerns about youth vaping in my school.”
