Legislative Advocacy Training (or how I can bring about change)

Sometimes we feel powerless to act and create change in our laws.  We want to do something but are not sure how to go about doing so. NCJW of Kansas City is pleased to welcome Leslie Butsch of the ACLU of Kansas to talk about how advocate for change.  She will cover the Kansas legislature 101, including how an idea becomes a law and how to find information about legislation as it moves through the process. She will also discuss how you can provide powerful testimony at the legislature on issues you care about, and tips for how to talk to your legislature. Finally, she will review the ACLU of KS’ legislative priorities for 2024 and how you can take action to defend civil liberties next session.

The Legislative Advocacy Training will take on January 16, 2024 from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. The program will be a hybrid so you are welcome to come in person or Zoom from home. Th Here’s the RSVP link, and the Zoom link. The Zoom link will be sent on the morning of and an hour before the training.  If you have any questions, please contact Carla Oppenheimer at coppenheimer@kc.rr.com.
