The voice of the faithful in Washington State will resound in the halls of power on Thursday, February 19, 2015! This year's theme is "Act on the Dream: Invest in the Common Good."
FAITH ACTION NETWORK’s Interfaith Advocacy Day in Olympia brings to our elected leaders the voice of compassion and justice. We partner for the common good with people of all faiths—and with people of no faith at all—who stand up boldly to challenge the powerful.
Your meeting with legislators and/or their staff on this day is the most important thing our faith advocates can do. Join workshops that will break down the issues on FAN's 2015 legislative agenda. Get current best practices on how to advocate in today’s legislature. Learn how to prepare for briefings and hearings. And an appointment will be made for you and others from your district to speak directly with your state legislators. Don’t miss this important day in Olympia!
*Registration is $15 paid in advance, and $20 if you pay at the door.* FAN will provide lunch, prepare the materials you need, and set up the meetings with your legislators prior to your arrival. Your registration fee helps to cover some of the cost of renting our meeting space, catering, and materials. Contact us if you need a scholarship.
Online registration ends February 15 at 11:59 PM. You can still register after that time by calling our office at (206) 625-9790.
To help us in this important work, make sure you register with a strong commitment to join us on February 19th for a great day! After you register, you will receive details on the agenda, workshop topics, and the times of your legislative appointments.
