After our energizing DWN Conference at the end of April, we are ready to carry out our Action Plan. For those of you who are going to meet with your congress person, now is the time to make the appointment. During the Week of Action, congressional members will be in their home districts. To make a stronger impact, invite other community groups and/or affected family members to join you in the meetings.
DWN has materials on their website for you to give to your congress person that are based on the current legislative issues. There are also materials for you to review before your meeting. Please also complete the follow-up sheet and send it back to the DWN office to let us know what issues were discussed and if any follow-up is needed.
LEGISLATIVE TELE-TRAINING
For those of you who are meeting with your legislator for the first time, DWN will have a tele-training to guide you in the process and answer any questions you may have. The date for the training is Thursday, May 24th at 4pm.
This is a critical time for us to make our issues known in Congress. Your meetings will help us to do so.
Please contact Shaina Aber if you have questions about making the appointment or any part of the process, saber@jesuit.org. ) 301-775-5744; (o) 202-462-0400.
Many thanks for your active involvement,
