Lobbying 101:
Getting Started
Between a global pandemic, social unrest,
and a recession, many of us have asked, "What Can I Do?" How can we address
these current issues in a manner that creates systemic, lasting change? Taking
legislative action is often the best way to create lasting change. However, many
individuals and organizations do not regularly engage in the lobbying efforts
necessary to develop support for legislation. If you do not understand the
importance of lobbying or do not know how to get started, this program is for
you. It will teach you the fundamentals, including building a strategy,
communicating, and how to persuade legislators. We hope you will join us to
learn how lobbying can become an effective tool in your arsenal.
