Legislative Advocacy Days are being scheduled by Matt Shapiro, Director of Public Policy NAMI NYS.
- Anyone who participated last year can register & Matt will notify you of an appt (probably in March for WNY) .
- If this is your first time participating, a SMARTS training and practice meeting are available.
- Matt tries to make everyone’s meeting and acts as facilitator.
- Matt is setting up our appointments with your legislators so you must be registered with NAMI NYS Legislative Advocacy Days.
- If your work schedule makes a daytime meeting impossible, please write, call or email your legislator about one of NAMI’s issues in Legislative Agenda 2022.
Remember:
Small groups of activists are responsible for most of the changes in our history.
