September Virtual Lunch & Learn: Voices that Shape Policy - The Importance of Lobbying

When people discuss prison reform, they often emphasize the need for policy change, but few know what it takes to bring about such change. This month, we will talk about the importance of legislative advocacy and the power of lobbying. We will examine the complex process of lobbying and discuss the strategy required to bring about the change you want to see. Ultimately, we will learn the importance of legislative advocacy and why it is critical that formerly incarcerated people lend their voices to the process.
