Dear LWV-WV Members,
The LWV-WV is excited to join with other organizations and individuals committed to moving West Virginia forward as a supporting partner of the 2018 All Kinds Are Welcome Here Civil Liberties Lobby Day [1] on February 8 at the State Capitol in Charleston.
COME STAND WITH US IN SOLIDARITY TO SHOW THE WEST VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE THAT WEST VIRGINIA SHOULD BE A PLACE THAT WELCOMES AND RESPECTS ALL PEOPLE!
There will be an advocacy training starting at 9 am to make sure you are comfortable talking with your elected officials about issues that matter to you, followed by a large press conference and rally featuring our lawmakers and other members of the community. Following the press conference, attendees will watch a floor session from the House or Senate galleries at 11 am when legislators convene.
The afternoon is devoted to meeting with your elected officials. Attendees are encouraged to arrange their own meetings with their legislators, but there will be a table were folks can connect with other from there area to attend meetings as a group. If you plan to attend and need help arranging a meeting with your legislators please let me know by replying to this email.
Please register here [2] to let us know which parts of the day you'll be attending, and which issues matter the most to you.
We look forward to seeing you there. Please stop by our table in the lower rotunda.
ALL KINDS ARE WELCOME AND ALL VOICES MUST BE HEARD! PLEASE JOIN US AND INVITE YOUR FRIENDS TODAY.
Sincerely,
Julie Archer Director, LWV-WV
