Join the Workers Circle and the Center for Common Ground for this month’s training on how to be an effective citizen advocate. No experience is necessary!

Led by Andrea Miller co-founder of the Center for Common Ground, and Workers Circle Director of Social Justice, Noelle Damico, this once-a-month, hour-long training is divided into two parts.

During the first 30 minutes of "How to be an Effective Citizen Advocate," we review pending legislation. Did you know that in November 2024, the nation will have 100,000 fewer election day polling places? Fewer polling places and long lines deter people from voting. On Thursday, April 11, we'll review the People Over Long Lines Act (H.R. 5291/S. 3517) which would end wait times of more than 30 minutes at the polls and ensure adequate polling sites and resources according to voter demand, not income level.

The second 30 minutes are a legislative visit training so that you can learn or brush up on how to impactfully engage your senators, representatives, and their staff.

Come for all or part of the program! All registrants will receive a video of the training, slides, an advocacy toolkit, and additional background information.
