In this nonpartisan workshop led by Texas legislative veteran Stephanie Chiarello Noppenberg, learn how the Texas legislature works and how best to make your voice heard by your representatives. Learn the basics of how legislation moves through the Texas legislature; pro tips for writing, calling, and visiting your legislators; and how to improve your testimony in a committee hearing. Just announced bonus topic: watching from the Senate or House gallery—to throw, or not to throw (hint: do not throw!). Learn how to advocate for issues you believe in.
Join TX21 Indivisible for this informative yet entertaining presentation by Chiarello Noppenberg, who does policy analysis for the Texas legislature by day and improv at night (check out her show Over the Lege, which returns in September!).
Please bring a computer/tablet if you would like to set up a personalized tracking system for the legislative bills you care about during the workshop.
