How to Prepare for a Meeting with Your Legislator
In this virtual workshop, you'll learn exactly what you need to doto have a productive meeting with a lawmaker on Advocacy Day. We'll provide you with talking points related to this session's early childhood bills, templates for one-pagers you can leave with your legislators, and resources you can refer to during your meetings.
We're hoping to have a great turnout for Early Childhood Advocacy Day, so we're offering this Advocacy Academy workshop free for everyone, regardless of member status. We hope it will encourage you to join us at the Capitol on April 9!
