Trainings
6:30pm-8:00pm Evening Lobbying and Marshall Trainings
Location: TBA
These trainings are not required for people who are lobbying, but it is highly recommended that you attend them. We will discuss how to lobby, what are asks to members are, what to expect from lobbying meetings and more importantly how to get around the hill! We will also be having a Marshall Training where we will go over conflict resolution, the plan for the march and fracking water drop off, and give out some other roles that we need filled to make sure STFA goes off without a hitch.
Thursday- July 26th-
Lobby Day
9:00am-5:00pm- Lobbying at the US Capitol
Location: US Capitol Visitor Center( we will have a space there all day)
So after being trained the night before, we will hit the pavement of Capitol Hill and bring our message to our members of the US Congress. Lobbying is a tactic that is as old as government it self, and is a great way to start create the pressure needed to help close the loop holes in the Clean Water Act and Clean Air Act. We will also be doing a group photo at Noon on the steps of the capitol!
