Overview and Action Items

Thank you for registering for Legislative Advocacy Day 2017! Your voice matters. We are grateful you will be joining our efforts for this important event.
 
Legislative Advocacy Day is hosted jointly by the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape (PCAR) and the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Domestic Violence (PCADV). This annual event creates a space for us to talk with legislators about the human impacts of sexual and domestic violence and ways we can partner to prevent these injustices throughout the Commonwealth. 
 
Before the event: Making appointments with legislators on 4/24
Please contact your legislators' offices in early-April and ask to meet with them on Advocacy Day, April 24th. 
 
You can find your legislators' contact information here: http://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/legis/home/findyourlegislator/  

You can use these talking points when you call to make appointments, if helpful: 
1.) My name is ___ and I am calling from [name of agency], in your district. 
2.) Our agency provides services to victims of sexual assault and domestic violence and engages community partners in prevention. 
3.) I will be at the Capitol on April 24th, to participate in the PA Coalition Against Rape and PA Coalition Against Domestic Violence Legislative Advocacy Day. 
4.) I would appreciate an opportunity to meet with you to discuss our prevention and advocacy efforts and ways we can work together to make sure our laws are responsive to the needs of victims and communities. 

Before the event: Attending a webinar
On April 17th at 12:00 PM and April 18th at 10:00 AM, PCAR and PCADV will host a webinar for Legislative Advocacy Day attendees. The webinar will cover logistics and the flow of the day, legislative priorities and talking points, and other information to make the day a success. The same content will be repeated during those two time slots, so you only need to attend one time. Registration information is included in the survey that follows. 

If you cannot make either webinar date/time, or if you have other questions about this event, please contact Donna Greco, PCAR's Policy Director, at dgreco@pcar.org or Ann Michael, PCADV's Policy Specialist, at amichael@pcadv.org.
