With coronavirus or any pandemic, we know it’s the communities facing poverty and already pushed to the margins that face the greatest risks. Viruses don’t discriminate, but people and policies too often do. The coronavirus pandemic is exposing just how far the world has to go toward protecting the rights and needs of everyone – and just what an important role advocates can play.
The February DFW/RESULTS webinars were fun. We learned: 1) why meetings with Congress are our most important advocacy tactic, 2) how to schedule a congressional meeting, 3) what makes a good meeting. Then we planned a meeting and did a live practice. It was great!
