Thank you for your advocacy using Earthjustice's Action forms!
The required information on our forms is determined by the agency to whom we are submitting. Unfortunately, many elected officials require that your letters use one of their designated prefixes/titles. Earthjustice's Action Alerts require prefixes if they are delivering letters to state or federal mail systems that have this requirement. If your letter does not include a prefix, it will not be accepted by the elected officials.
We understand that many prefer not to use prefixes with their name. When we are able to leave that field optional, we do. Earthjustice strives to make sure that all action submissions made to us are successfully accepted by the agencies in order to amplify the voices represented. We do encourage you to reach out to your representative to suggest making the title options more inclusive.
