Thanks to all!
The 2009 Women's Advocacy Day was a great success in presenting the 2009
Women's Legislative Agenda to the members of the North Carolina General Assembly. If
you care about issues affecting women and want to improve your advocacy skills,
please review our material and contact your legislators on the issues of most
concern to you.
Watch for the NCWU Report Card on these issues that will be distributed after
the end of the long session.
Talking points
Bills and talking points - info on the bill numbers,
information on why NCWU member organizations are supporting these bills, and
links where you can find the bill details (including whether your legislators)
are sponsors/co-sponsors of the particular bills.
Virtual Events
Check out the sound bites from our press
conference.
Can't make it to Raleigh? After reviewing the agenda and talking points,
use the link to this
campaign to send an e-mail to your legislators.
Of course, you can always phone, write or e-mail a personal message to your
legislator on any of these issues or others of concern to you.
Do More
You'll learn about some of the NC Women United member organizations at the
information sessions in the Legislative Building 1200 Court on the morning
of Advocacy Day. If one connects with your particular passion ask how you can
get more involved.
If you need an overview of the lobbying process, please check our Lobbying
101 to prepare for your visit with your legislator.
