Don't miss Progressive Mass's Lobby Day, Wednesday, May 3rd  - lobbying training/issues presentations at 9am / Lobby visits thru the morning/early afternoon

• Hear from progressive state legislators on the bills that advance the cause!
• Learn the important issues and the latest updates on our legislative agenda!
• Learn, practice, and share ‘how to lobby effectively’ wisdom!
• Build progressive alliances with new friends from across the state!

When we let legislators know why these bills are important to us, it makes an impact (and especially at the state level).

States are where national legislation gets tried out. Let’s make sure it’s progressive. In these times, we can’t just rest on a status quo. We need to aggressively fight for a progressive future!

FIRST TIME LOBBYING?

Don't worry--our organizers will help walk you thru the steps, and work with you ahead of time to put things in place for a most successful lobby day!
