LOBBY DAYS
By the People Lobby Days have resumed..
Building on six successful years of lobby days, the American Civil Liberties Union of Georgia (ACLU of GA) is again teaming up with other progressive organizations to help you meet and talk with your legislators. These groups include Women In The Halls and Georgia Rural Urban Summit (GRUS). Each week these groups will team up to provide you with the tools you need to hold lawmakers accountable on issues, ranging from reproductive rights, church-state to immigration, and consumer issues.
A face to face meeting is the most effective way to communicate with your legislators. Plus, it can be a lot of fun! Whether you are an experienced advocate or brand new to the legislative process, this program can help make your visits easy and effective. Come down to the Capitol and meet your legislators.
Join us at the Capitol any Wednesday morning at 9:00 a.m. in Room 307 of the Coverdell Legislative Office Building.
At each Wednesday session, we will teach you how to talk to legislators, tell you about the issues that are hot, explain why we care about the issues, and guide you on how you can best help to pass or stop legislation. We will even walk you over to the Capitol, give you a tour, and assist you as you meet with your senators and representatives.
If you have never talked to your legislator, come by at 9 a.m. for a quick legislative training. If you have been to the Capitol before, come by at 9:15 for an update on what issues are moving that week.
