The Power of Advocacy is a multi-part webinar series designed to help you build confidence and practical skills to create positive change in your community. Through interactive sessions, you’ll learn how to share your story, connect with decision-makers, and use a range of advocacy tools—from individual action to shaping public policy. The series will conclude with an opportunity to put these skills into action during our advocacy trip to Richmond in January.

Title: The Power of Advocacy 104: From Learning to Leading in Legislative Advocacy
Description:
Get ready to bring your advocacy to the next level. We will be joined by Richard Cerros, Community Relations Coordinator at the district office of Congressman Don Beyer. This session will walk you through what to expect when meeting with lawmakers and their staff, how to share your story in a compelling and memorable way, and practical strategies to stay organized and confident. Legislative advocacy is an important part of systems change. Your relationships with elected officials and their staff could be the key to passing a new law that could benefit disabled people, or preventing a law that could harm us.
