State Legislation Workshop with NARAL-Pro-Choice Washington
Free workshop this Saturday from 2-4 at Village Books. The workshop will consist of a bit of a crash course on how legislation works at the state and local level, and then we’ll discuss proven strategies on how to affect real political change, and give everyone an inside look at NARAL Pro-Choice Washington’s political strategy for this legislative session. This workshop is interactive, so we’ll have some group exercises and also invite folks to talk about their own experiences as activists whether you marched in January, wrote letters, attended a rally or called your lawmakers!
