Spring Brings Working 2 Walk |

What better day to visit our Senators and Congressmen than on than the due date for our federal income taxes? Let's talk to them about how we would like to see this money spent! This year we have set aside the entire day on Tuesday to schedule legislative visits. We will provide shuttle service between Capitol Hill and the Kellogg Conference Hotel. Several of the researchers who are speaking at Working 2 Walk will stay on to visit Capitol Hill with us. Our Washington liaisons, Michael Manganiello and Rachel Hammerman, will provide a comprehensive legislative briefing on Monday afternoon. More details on our legislative agenda and plans for Tuesday will be available as we get closer to Capitol Hill Day. Meanwhile, it's time to schedule your legislative appointments. Visit our Make An Appointment page for details on this process. If you know others from your state who will be at W2W, coordinate your visits with them to give yourselves strength in numbers and make a stronger impression. Here are a couple of website links that provide valuable tips on preparing for your legislative visit: How to Lobby a Legislator - GMHC Advocacy & Public Policy - Providence Health Systems Note that both suggest doing a little research on your legislator before your visit. Good advice! Stay tuned to this website for updated news on Capitol Hill Day! |
