Interfaith Impact of New York State
646 State Street
Albany, NY 12203
518-463-5652
Education & Advocacy Day
Cosponsored by Reform Jewish Voice of New York State
REGISTRATION IS FREE!
The annual IINYS/RJV Legislative Education and Advocacy Day will be held this year on Monday, April 12, 2010. gtp, 10:30 AM to 3:30 PM in Room 711A of the Legislative Office Building on the Empire State Plaza in Albany.
To register, please send an e-mail to info@interfaithimpactnys.org with your name(s), title(s), denomination, mailing address and phone number. That's all you have to do! Please register early, so we can make appointments with your legislators.
With the NYS Senate controlled by Democrats and governance for the common good being challenged on every hand, there has never been a more important time to make your progressive religious views heard on economic justice, ethics reform, marriage equality, and reproductive health care.
Room 711A is right in the middle of all the legislators and staff throughout the day. It’s our place for the day to leave coats, eat, and network with likeminded folks from across the state. Breakfast (coffee, tea and rolls) will be available.
This room will be our staging area for visits to legislators and staff throughout the day. Following an introduction to the issues and tips on advocating, we will break up into small groups, each facilitated by an experienced advocate. We will be meeting with your elected representatives, selected committee chairs, committee staff and program and counsel staff. You will get a final schedule and folder of materials when you arrive in Rm. 711A.
We encourage young people to join us. Please note that we have a bulletin board feature on our website this year that you can use to organize carpools, ask questions, make comments, discuss issues, and so on. We are encouraging the use of this new feature. The more people who use it, the more useful it will become. To post messages, you will need to register- follow the on-line directions.
Please let your congregation members know and other advocacy groups know. Feel free to print out the flyer and registration below, post it on bulletin boards, and copy and e-mail to your contacts.
