Join us for an Introduction to Advocacy Workshop with Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL). This event will train participants to use a range of advocacy skills to promote peace and justice in the policymaking process. Join us in-person to learn how you can become a more effective advocate to drive change in Congress. We will go in-depth on FCNL’s relationship-based style of lobbying, teach skills on storytelling, and share best practices on effective communication with Members of Congress. We will explore why the Advocacy Teams program is so effective, provide an overview of our 2023 campaign to Invest in Peace, and take one collective action together. At the end, we will move forward with launching a new grassroots Advocacy Team in Bismarck, North Dakota. This Introduction to Advocacy Workshop features FCNL Advocacy Teams Organizer Mwandeyi Kamwendo. The workshop will run from 10:00 AM-1:30 PM Central Time. There will be face masks made available for those who wish to wear one. Individuals experiencing symptoms or possible exposure to illness are encouraged to wear a mask. For more information, please reach out to Mwandeyi at mkamwendo@fcnl.org.
