You&#8217;ll have the opportunity to observe floor debate or committee hearings, to find your lawmakers and connect with them, and to advocate on specific pieces of anti-poverty legislation, including providing improving nutrition access, increasing access to affordable housing, reforming our criminal justice system, and protecting the initiative petition process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For our virtual series, join us at noon each day for a lunch hour of action. Each session will begin by teaching you one important aspect of successful legislative advocacy. These lessons work as a stand alone skill but are best applied together. Next, our knowledgeable and skilled organizers will teach you about one bill that will disproportionately impact people in poverty focused on one of our priority areas. Finally, they&#8217;ll show exactly how to join our network in virtual advocacy to end poverty in Missouri.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong><em>See the full Week of Action schedule below and check back for updates!<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Monday, April 4th @ 12PM-1PM (Virtual)<\/strong> &#8211; Topic: Criminal Justice &#8211; Skill Building: Communicating Effectively with Legislators<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tuesday, April 5th @ 10AM &#8211; 3PM (In-Person)<\/strong> &#8211; Advocacy Day at the capitol in Jefferson City<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You will learn:<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How a bill moves through the legislative process<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When bills are most easily impacted by advocates and how you can participate in the process<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How to make the most of a day in the capitol<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You will have the opportunity:&nbsp;<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To observe floor debate or committee hearings<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To find your lawmakers and connect with them<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To advocate on specific pieces of anti-poverty legislation, including providing improving nutrition access, increasing access to affordable housing, reforming our criminal justice system, and protecting the initiative petition process.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lunch will be provided for all participants.
