You are invited to our annual Lobby Day for Health Equity!
What is Lobby Day? Every year on President’s Day (Feb. 18), Health Equity Circle brings 50+ students (from schools of public health, nursing, medicine, law, social work, and more) to Olympia to voice support for or against the passage of specific bills that are critical to health equity in WA. During Lobby Day, small teams will meet with individual policymakers to tell their stories and influence votes. Not only is Lobby Day a chance to advance policy around social justice issues, it’s a great opportunity to gain lobbying skills, become familiar with the legislative process in WA, and meet students from across UW.
When is Lobby Day? Monday, February 18 (Presidents’ Day), 9am – 3pm, meet at 6:30am to carpool to Olympia
How do I prepare? We will be holding two training sessions on lobbying in the two weeks prior to Lobby Day, and all we ask is that you come to one of them! (Dates and times TBD)
Questions? Please direct any inquiries to hec.lobbyday@gmail.com.
