Legislative Affairs

BY THE PEOPLE LOBBY DAYS

Building on nine successful years of lobby days, the American Civil Liberties Union of Georgia (ACLU of GA) is again teaming up with other coalition partners to help you meet and talk with your legislators. Hear from organizations such as Georgia Rural Urban Summit (GRUS) for legislative updates. Each week these groups will team up to provide you with the tools you need to hold lawmakers accountable on issues, ranging from reproductive rights, separation of church and state to immigration, and consumer issues.

A face to face meeting is the most effective way to communicate with your legislators. Plus, it can be a lot of fun! Whether you are an experienced advocate or brand new to the legislative process, this program can help make your visits easy and effective. Come down to the Capitol and meet your legislators.

At each Tuesday session, we will teach you how to talk to legislators, tell you about the issues that are hot, explain why we care about the issues, and guide you on how you can best help to pass or stop legislation. We will even walk you over to the Capitol, give you a tour, and assist you as you meet with your senators and representatives.

If you have never talked to your legislator, come by at 9:00am for a quick legislative training. If you have been to the Capitol before, come by at 10:00 am for an update on what issues are moving that week.
