WA Water Lobby Day: Meet with lawmakers in Olympia
February 1 @ 9:00 am - 5:00 pm
Join us to advocate for laws that keep the Salish Sea clean and freshwater resources safe during the 2024 state legislative session! It’s easier than you might think, and our staff will be with you every step of the way.
Water Lobby Day: Thursday, February 1st. Plan to be in Olympia by 9:30am, with trainings and breakout groups starting at 10am. We’ll meet first for a quick lobbying training in the morning at the Lord Mansion (211 21st Ave SW, Olympia, WA 98501).
We will book meetings with lawmakers. After a brief morning training, you’ll join Lobby Day staff and your fellow constituents at a meeting. We encourage anyone to join, whether it’s your first time talking to lawmakers or not!
Expect the event to take much of the day, with lawmaker meetings wrapping up in afternoon. There will be an optional happy hour/debrief after everyone has had their meetings. Option for carpools will come once folks start signing up.
The word “lobbying” carries a lot of baggage. But really, lobbying is simply meeting with elected officials to have your voice heard. That’s why we think it’s time lobbying is put back into the hands of the people. At Washington Water Lobby Day, we’ll help make it easier to talk to your elected officials about several key bills that could become law this year, as well as vital funding for existing programs.
