NLIHC will hold two webinars to prepare advocates for NLIHC’s annual Capitol Hill Lobby Day taking place on March 27. The webinars will discuss effective advocacy and NLIHC’s policy priorities. The first webinar, “Advocacy 101,” an introduction to effective advocacy, is on Thursday, March 5 at 2:00 pm ET. Register at: https://bit.ly/32vcZ2u
In “Advocacy 101,” the NLIHC field team will cover how a bill becomes a law, the federal budget process, and tips for effective advocacy. The session will also include a mock legislative visit. The webinar is an excellent training opportunity for those new to advocating with members of Congress or their staff.
The second webinar, “NLIHC 2020 Forum Policy Priorities,” an overview of NLIHC’s policy priorities and key Capitol Hill Day talking points, will take place on March 12 at 2:00 pm ET. The NLIHC policy team will discuss key bills before Congress and specific requests advocates should be making to increase federal investments in affordable homes.
