Our elected officials need to get to know the LGBT community and straight allies. Lobby Day is our chance to build bridges and meet face-to-face with the men and women who shape state laws that impact our lives and our families.
May 17 Lobby Day details:
  • Professional experience is not necessary;
  • Get ready with Lobby Day training in an Ohio city near you
  • We will setup meeting times on May 17 with legislative staff, then provide you with your schedule;
  • You will need to set aside the whole day (what a great use of a vacation day!) ;
  • You are welcome to bring your loved ones, including children, we will have a "family break area" for nursing and play;
  • Registration is required.

There will be a training workshop in the morning before heading to the offices of legislators. You will receive helpful materials and tips that will prepare you well to speak to your representatives.

This is an exciting opportunity for Ohio's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender citizens and allies to take concerns directly to their state officials. It will be a landmark day! Be a part of it!
