How can we build our capacity and leverage our grassroots power to support the Movement for Black Lives Policy platform?
Please join the SURJ Policy Working Group on Saturday April 8th from 1pm to 4pm for an interactive legislative strategy session and workshop that will demystify the legislative process, build our legislative capacity, and highlight the legislative priorities and strategies of our POC partners. All levels of experience are welcome!
In addition to break-out discussion groups, we will hear from special guests Bridget Kolakosky, Legislative Director for Senator Holly Mitchell, author of the RISE Act and Emily Harris, State Field Director for the Ella Baker Center, a co-sponsor of the RISE Act.
