Example Letter:
Dear Senator or Representative (Insert last name here),
My name is (insert name here). I am one of your constituents and I am writing you to make aware of an issue that needs to be addressed. My loved one is non-ambulatory and cannot use an accessible toilet. We must leave a venue or lay him/her on a public restroom floor to change him/her. This is undignified and UNSANITARY. (Please go into more detail about your story, explaining all your challenges and difficulties).
There is a bill they will be admitted next session to have Powered Height Adjustable ADULT Changing Tables added to Family Restrooms to the Florida Building Codes. We are asking you to SUPPORT this bill. THIS MUST BE CHANGED!
This bill was submitted by Universal Changing Places. It is a grassroots movement that is advocating for these types of facilities! Please check out their website at UniversalChangingPlaces.com. You can learn more about the movement, suggested locations and types of tables needed.
Thank you so much for service to our State and your time.
Sincerely,
