Example Letter:

Dear Senator or Representative (Last Name),

My name is (insert your name), and I am one of your constituents. I am writing to bring attention to an important accessibility issue affecting my family and many others across Florida.

My loved one is non-ambulatory and cannot use a standard accessible toilet. When we are in public spaces, we are often forced to leave early or, in some cases, lay them on the floor of a public restroom in order to change them. This is undignified, unsafe, and unsanitary. It also places physical strain and injury risk on caregivers.
(Please share more of your personal story here and explain the challenges you face.)

There will be a bill introduced next session to add Powered Height Adjustable ADULT Changing Tables to Family/Companion Care Restrooms in the Florida Building Codes. I respectfully ask that you PLEASE SUPPORT this bill. This change is necessary to ensure dignity, safety, and true accessibility for individuals with disabilities and their caregivers.

This bill was submitted by Universal Changing Places, a grassroots movement advocating for inclusive facilities that meet real-world needs. Please visit UniversalChangingPlaces.com to learn more about the movement, recommended locations, and the types of tables needed.

Thank you for your service to our state and for taking the time to consider this important issue.

Sincerely,
(Your Name)
(City, Florida)
