Each year, the LWVWA Lobby Team participates in planning and conducting two events related to the Legislature—the Action Workshop and Democracy Lobby Week. This year we are also incorporating the Speak Up School, which has been a separate event before.  

In December of each year, the Lobby Team conducts an Action Workshop, where League members and interested members of the public learn about what issues are likely to come up in the upcoming legislative session and get tips about League positions to support.  For an agenda for this year’s event, click here.

Register for Action Workshop

The Speak Up School on January 6 from 9:00am to 12:30pm will provide information about how to use the legislative web site, track bills, comment and other things members need to know; plus it offers training in developing and presenting testimony. 

In January, the Lobby Team works with Fix Democracy First (FDF), a partner organization, on Democracy Lobby Week. During this week, League and FDF members have an opportunity to attend evening and daytime sessions. During the evening sessions attendees get more details about specific bills that we are supporting and during the day time sessions, they have an opportunity to meet with their local legislators in support of these bills. 

Watch our website for registration links, which will be announced soon.
