Lobbying

Lobbying is an effective way to be heard on an issue. You can lobby politicians at all levels - local, state and federal. You can also lobby other important people. These resources are intended to help Quakers lobby politicians about issues that are of concern to Friends.

The resources have been put together by the Quaker Peace and Legislation Commmittee. You can contact them and learn more about there work by visiting their committee page.

How might your meeting use these resources?

• Invite QPLC to run a lobbying workshop with your meeting
• Engage with a politican about an issue that is of concern to your meeting, use these resources to prepare for your meeting.
• Run a lobbying workshop and invite Friends to gather to work through these materials and practice your lobbying skills through role plays and discussion
