Taking Action: Make Your Voice Heard

Webinar Description: 

The world has changed. Making our voices heard is more important than ever.  Building relationships with elected officials and exerting influence on the governmental and political spheres is critical to solving the climate crisis, confronting racial inequality, and addressing the mounting student debt problem. At this session you will learn the importance of legislative engagement at all levels of government and learn how to create winning messages that help you clearly communicate the things that are important to you in a way that resonates with others. There will be plenty of time for Q&A, so bring your questions as we explore advocacy, leadership, and how to get started.
