If you don't live in Texas… - How you can help avoid disaster

If you don't live in Texas…

The What You Can Do to Help page is mainly for those who live in Texas. Representatives don't take well to being contacted by people from out of state. Even though the Texas science standards get exported to other states via textbooks, representatives tend to view Texas standards as only the concern of Texans. Still, there are a number of things non-Texans can do to help:

* Encourage local media to cover what's going on in Texas.
* Engage in science advocacy in your state.
* Join or donate to science advocacy organizations, whether in your state, in Texas (e.g. TFN), or nationally (e.g. NCSE).

If these methods don't help with the immediate situation in Texas, they may help keep the problem from spreading outside Texas. They may also help by spreading awareness into Texas from the outside. It's even possible that Texas would respond to embarrassing exposure from her sisters in the Union.
