Join Us in Columbus on Wednesday, May 7th for Lobby Day!

Together, we have the power to affect policies that impact the lives of our community. Each year, Adoption Network Cleveland volunteers and staff travel in teams to lobby our state representatives and senators, both freshman and veterans alike. We set Tuesday, May 7th as our 2024 Lobby Day! Volunteers will advocate for our public policy agenda, deliver materials, and give attention getting gifts of branded candy.

Do you want your voice to be heard on these issues? Do you have an interest in learning how government operates? How about putting political advocate on your resume? If you answered yes to any of these, then we want you to volunteer! Up to 30 volunteers are needed in Columbus for a full day of advocacy and outreach. Our day will go from 9:30 AM to 3 PM, lunch will be provided.

Worried about not knowing what to say? Never fear! Adoption Network Cleveland will provide training on issues and talking points, and you will work in groups of two or three while meeting the legislators. Can’t make it to Columbus? We have a job for you too! We need help with pre-event preparations too. 

If you are interested in volunteering in any capacity, please email board member and Public Policy Committee Chair Lindsay Domingo at Lindsay.Domingo@Swagelok.com with a copy to Betsie Norris at betsie.norris@adoptionnetwork.org, by March 15th. After you sign up, we will reach out to you with specifics.
