Legislative Advocacy
We partner with organizations representing those most impacted to advocate for worth and dignity, justice and equity, compassion and interdependence in public policy. We choose our main action areas based on our annual listening survey with congregational leaders around the state, and develop our advocacy based on asks from partner organizations working in those areas, always with an eye to what is actionable.
Our advocacy takes the form of:
Actions of the Week: Our online action alerts make it easy to make a difference by sending targeted emails to our legislators together with others around the state
Advocacy Days: We join our partners several each year for mass advocacy actions at the state Capitol in Springfield
Advocacy Teams: Our Congregational Advocacy Teams meet with legislators at their home offices several times each year
Community Actions: We show up for town halls and direct actions targeting key decision-makers on important issues.
Let us know if you’d like to join a Congregational Advocacy Team.
