What really happens at the State House? Interested in learning more about how to lobby for the environment?

The Sierra Club Greater Boston Group will be hosting a workshop to explain the legislative process and how you can make a difference for the environment. The presentation will cover the legislative process including: how a bill is filed; legislative hearings and how to testify; and moving bills through the hearing process, contacting your elected officials successfully; and how to use the media to advance environmental issues. You will also learn about the Sierra Club's legislative priorities for 2009.

The evening entrance to the Sierra Club Office is 294 Washington St., across from the Border's Bookstore, Downtown Boston.

    As an activist for the environment it behooves us all to learn & become more articulate.

    Hi William Stewart, This is the Greater Boston Group's 1st lobby training workshop. If it goes well, we may have another, sometime in the next 2 months. I just glanced at your link and didn't easily identify your proposed legislation. I'll go back later and take a longer look. Mary Ann

    This is too valuable for just one time in one place.Plase have someone make a video recording or record it some way. I will have Fridays & Saturdays off in a week. Please look at my legislative initiative with Congressmen Ed Markey at http://www.websuccess4you.b... or http://www.websuccess4you.b...
