Join AHA Policy Director Rachel Deitch for a training on how your group can make its voice heard with lawmakers, so you can turn your members’ values into real pressure on the issues we care about.

In this hour-long session, you’ll learn the basic tools in our advocacy toolbox and how to use them effectively to influence policy.  In this session, we will cover:

• How to identify your issue, target the best audience, and build lasting relationships with elected officials.
• The different strategies and tactics used in educating, advocating, and lobbying your lawmakers (and when to use each).
• How to craft a clear “ask” and conduct effective meetings with legislators.

This training is designed to support advocates at all levels.  If you are new to advocacy, it will provide a helpful introduction.  If you have advocacy experience, it can be useful to reinforce key concepts.   We will be offering these training sessions quarterly.

And if you’re interested in our policy work, make sure you’re a member of AHA’s advocacy and political arm, the Center for Freethought Equality.  Membership is free – join today.
