For the past year, the Ministry of Immigration Partnership convened through the diocesan Office of Canon for Immigration and Multicultural Ministries has been involved in advocating for improved conditions for asylum seekers at our southern border and many other immigration matters. This work took us to different parts of the Diocese for educational workshops and to Washington, DC to meet with our congressmen and congresswomen and their staffers.
We recognize that some people may be unsure about getting involved in public policy advocacy. Even for those who are comfortable with it, creating a strategy can be a complicated process. And so, we invite you to join this online 2-hour training where you will learn about advocacy and relationship building with elected officials, and how to use your voice, your keyboard, and your pen to push for better laws and policies. This training will be given by The Episcopal Church’s Office of Government Relations, which leads our Church’s federal level advocacy.
Although the event is free, pre-registration is required. You will receive an email with the link to join via zoom the day prior.
