Barbara Lee Education LA\" through Google. You can almost always find their email through google, but this is pain. Unlike contact forms that are available on almost all websites, the LA's would be great to target and would be a very generous advancement in policy advocacy. \r\n\r\nI have received requests for this kind of tech before from activists who actively work in DC\r\n"}}
