March 24th Effective Advocacy Training
Join FACS and Citizens' Climate Lobby on March 24th, 7:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. on Zoom for our Effective Advocacy Training: Meeting with Elected Officials. Through this training, you will learn how to hold an effective meeting with elected officials.
Meeting with our elected representatives is a critical tool for persuading them to prioritize climate action. But having a good meeting can be challenging, especially when the elected official doesn't share our views. Our fellow advocates at Citizens' Climate Lobby (CCL) are no stranger to tough meetings. Over the years, this national, nonpartisan group has developed a reliable recipe for effective meetings, empowering ordinary citizens to build productive relationships with both Republican and Democratic elected officials and their staffs. FACS Advocacy Teams use the CCL model in our effective work educating local legislators about the importance of climate action now. At this workshop , CCL volunteers Joshua Goodman, Rose Hendricks and Sarah Karush will walk us through the CCL method for meetings, including important roles to assign before the meeting, key elements to include in your meeting outline, and tips for active listening that leads to a productive, two-way discussion. This will be an interactive session, so please turn on your computer cameras to fully participate.
