Workshop: How to Influence Legislators
The training will help attendees become familiar with or improve their existing advocacy skills concerning social justice legislation. Participants will learn how to write effective talking points, how to have a successful conversation with Legislators, create their own advocacy strategies, and how to interact with all types of legislators, Conservative, Progressive, or Moderate. Attendees will leave with practical advice and skills for their advocacy on the Bills that the group is working on. Instruction has been validated in independent research by Social Psychologists.
