LOBBY DAY - Thursday, March 8
We understand that not everyone will be able to afford the time to participate, but we would strongly encourage you to attend. We are reviewing the lobbying issues but under consideration are: jobs and the economy (American Jobs Act), stop the U.S. Postal Service from closing (U.S. Postal Service Obligation Recalculation and Restoration Act), equal pay (the Paycheck Fairness Act), Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act, paid sick days (Healthy Families Act) and single payer health care (Expanded and Improved Medicare for All Act). Many endorsed bills and descriptions can be found at www.popvox.com/orgs/cluw as well as some that we oppose.
Please check the Lobby Day box on the pre-registration form if you plan to participate. We will communicate with you prior to Lobby Day, so include a working e-mail address. Lobby Day visits should be set up with your representative and senators from 10:30 AM – 3 PM. The CLUW National Office will do all we can to help coordinate, but the individual appointments will need to be scheduled by you. If you have a change in plans make sure you notify your member of Congress of this change.
If you are unable to attend this Lobby Day your voice is still important. Check our website for issue fact sheets and call and visit your members of Congress in their district offices. The following resource links include helpful information about the lobbying process:
Please contact Carol Rosenblatt at 202-508-6951 or csrosenblatt@cluw.org if you have any questions. |
