THE DETAILS AND WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT!
A relaxed, informal luncheon reception is one of the best ways to ensure that legislators hear your message and take action - and you don’t need to be an expert or have any experience in lobbying to take part!
Our Ohio Companion Animal Lobby Day will cover everything you need to be a citizen advocate for Ohio's companion animals. We'll show you basic, but effective, lobby techniques. You'll learn how a bill becomes a law, what influences a legislator and what companion animal-related bills and citizen-initiated statute will be considered and voted by the 129th Ohio General Assembly.
For just a few hours of your time, you can make a tremendous difference on behalf of Ohio's companion animals! Click here to RSVP by March 5 and we will give you all the info you need and help with everything along the way!
