Classroom 103, First Floor
This event will bring together Boston-area legal and community organizations to share the legislative advocacy skills and strategies that they have employed in their efforts to promote greater healing, dignity, and freedom in Massachusetts. The panel will be followed by a Q&A session.
This event is geared towards those interested in legislative advocacy across several issue areas, including decarceration, jail/prison conditions, housing justice, and immigration justice. We welcome anyone who is brand new to advocacy and who would like to learn what it entails, as well as more experienced advocates looking to build community.
