Facebook empowers Page owners to politicize their posts
Facebook users may see more posts nudging them to contact lawmakers.
A recent update to the social network lets Page owners create individual posts that include a button for Facebook users to contact their local representatives.

The "Contact Your Representative" feature was available to personal profiles earlier this year, as part of Facebook's release of "Town Hall" in March.
By adding Pages into the mix, it evidently expands the possibility of people seeing the feature. It also empowers these Page owners to be more politically engaged.
Here's how it works:
1. All Page owners and Facebook users can see the feature within the "Feeling or Thinking" activity section of the post composer unit.

Facebook will prompt you to determine who your local representatives are by entering your address.
Community, as Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg would say.
