Unitarian Universalist Church of Arlington, VA
Registration is required.
Several immigrant advocate organizations will host an Advocacy Training Day to discuss the 2016 VA General Assembly process as well as hold a strategy session for our collaborative advocacy efforts. You will learn the legislative process of the Virginia General Assembly Interactive training on how to advocate with your legislators and what bills will be of importance to the immigrant community in Virginia.
This event is in preparation for the Virginia Coalition of Latino Organizations’s (VACOLAO) Annual Virginia Immigrant Advocacy Day (details below) that will bring hundreds of Virginians to Richmond to advocate for the rights of immigrants during the 2016 Virginia General Assembly.
