Interested in submitting a public comment on the Food and Drug Administration’s proposed rule banning the use of electric skin shock devices for behavior modification? It’s easier than you might think, and our plain language resource “#StopTheShock - What is it, and how can you help?” can help!

The FDA is asking for people to submit public comments by Tuesday, May 28, 2024. People in the government have to read the public comments. Anyone can write a public comment — you do not need to be an expert to write a comment! The government made public comments to try and hear everyone’s opinions.

It’s important to make our voices heard, and our resource can walk you through how to do it. This guide can walk you through some of the words you might hear, the timeline behind #StopTheShock, and most importantly, how to write a comment for this proposed ban! 

If you’ve never written a public comment before, this guide offers a template and examples to help you get started.

This is a chance for our community to be heard! Check out our new resource and get started on your comment today.
