MN-CCD Grassroots Action Session Kick – Off
Tuesday January 17th 2012, 3:00 – 5:00 pm
The Center for Changing Lives, 2400 Park Avenue S, Minneapolis, MN 55404
Have you always wanted to learn more about MN-CCD’s “Tuesdays at the Capitol” – a weekly opportunity during the legislative session for disability advocates to communicate with their legislators at the capitol?
Are you a self-advocate, family member, friend or professional in the disability community interested in attending a “Tuesday at the Capitol” this session, on your own or with a group?
You are invited to join MN-CCD for our first annual Grassroots Action Session Kick – Off. On Tuesday January 17th, join MN-CCD’s grassroots action leaders for a mock “Tuesday at the Capitol”, were we will:
- Review how to prepare for and what to expect on a “Tuesday at the Capitol”
- Model a typical “Tuesday at the Capitol”, including providing updates on current legislative issues impacting the disability community as well as a brief training on how to effectively communicate with your legislators
- Model a legislative meeting using the resources provided at every “Tuesday at the Capitol”
The 2012 legislative session is just around the corner, and we will soon need the collective voice of the entire disability community at the capitol. Whether you’re planning to come to the capitol on your own or while supporting a group, don’t miss out on this opportunity to learn how “Tuesdays at the Capitol” can make communicating with your legislators easy and effective.
Please RSVP by emailing denafelper@arcgreatertwincities.org or by calling 952 920 0855 by January 13th. Light refreshments will be provided.
