Save the Date for March 10th Albany Legislative Day

February 22nd   10:30 am Advocacy Prep Session

NYAPRS will be working with our members to start scheduling virtual zoom advocacy meetings with their state legislators and/or their staff during this year's NYAPRS Advocacy Weeks, between Tuesday February 22 to Friday March 4.

Join next Tuesday Advocacy Prep session at 10:30 to Noon this Tuesday February 22 presenting and discussing details on each of the issues and suggestions about how to present them to legislators and/or their staff.

We are also organizing for a March 10 Albany Legislative Day from 10:00 am to 12:30 pm in 'the Well' in the Legislative Office Building.

  *   Attendees are expected to bring proof of vaccination and a mask.
  *   The Well is large enough to allow for social distancing for what we expect to be a moderately sized group of NYAPRS self and system advocates.
NYAPRS will be providing a continental breakfast and lunch.

As always, our program will feature presentations from NYAPRS members and friends with guidance on how to present our respective issues to their legislators, followed by some remarks from prominent state officials and a role play of a typical legislative meeting.
