There are so many ways people are acting on behalf of climate, social justice, and climate justice these days. One way is to tell legislators what you care about and one way to amplify that message is to do it with groups of people in person at the capitol! In fact, lobbying, something we tend to think of negatively, is perhaps the most important and overlooked method for encouraging change, but unfortunately almost always beyond our normal routines and comfort zones.
Legislators are in session and there have been a flurry of lobby days!
