ALBANY ADVOCACY DAY:
Come Lobby for Environmental Justice!
 
Fellow New Yorkers:

Make your Earth Day meaningful this year by joining us for our Albany Advocacy Day on Tuesday, April 25. Our state leaders need to hear from you!
 
We will be taking a bus up to Albany to tell New York State elected officials about legislation that can address the childhood lead poisoning crisis, get toxins out of our everyday products, and combat climate change. And we are hosting a virtual training session beforehand so you can learn about these environmental justice bills and feel more comfortable meeting with legislators.
 
We’re providing the bus, free of charge, along with a free lunch. We’ll be meeting outside our office (1854 Amsterdam Avenue, at the corner of 152nd Street) at 7:30 AM on April 25. After our day in Albany meeting with state legislators, we will drop you off at our office at 6:30 PM that evening. RSVP here to join us in Albany.
 
In preparation for the Advocacy Day, we encourage you to attend our virtual training from 6:00-7:00 PM on Thursday, April 20 to learn about the bills we will be lobbying for as well as some key talking points and tips for meeting with legislators. RSVP here to attend the virtual training session.
