Each year, the LWVWA Lobby Team participates in planning and conducting two events related to the Legislature:
- In December of each year, the Lobby Team conducts an Action Workshop at which League members and interested public learn about what issues are likely to come up in the ensuring legislative session and get tips about League positions to support.
- 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 can attend daytime or evening sessions. During evening sessions, attendees get more details about specific bills that we are supporting, and during the daytime sessions, they have an opportunity to meet with their local legislators in support of these bills.
Both of these events were held in person prior to the pandemic, but will continue to be virtual this year—both for convenience and to prevent additional risk of COVID variants and/or flu.
Please save the dates on your calendars! Detailed agendas with registration information will be posted in several weeks.
