FRIENDS COMMITTEE ON WASHINGTON PUBLIC POLICY
QUAKER LOBBY DAY (Fourth Annual!)
Monday, February, 9:00 ‐ 3:00
Olympia Friends Meeting House
Friends have been a leading voice for economic justice and prison reform for several centuries. Our voice is critically important to many marginalized citizens of our state ‐ including tens of thousands of state residents who are at risk of losing health care benefits and the thousands of men and women behind bars
who cannot speak effectively for themselves.
FCWPP invites you to participate in our 4th annual Quaker Lobby Day on Presidents’ Day.
The day begins at 9am at the new Olympia Friends Meetinghouse on
Boston Harbor Road in north Olympia, where we will introduce our key legislative priorities (economic justice and health care, restorative justice, earned early release of prisoners, marriage equality, and local responses to global challenges) before we go to the Capitol Building about 11 AM to talk with our legislators about these issues.
If you’ve never lobbied before, you are not alone! Perhaps you’re hesitant about lobbying because you’re
unfamiliar with the issues. If so, Quaker Lobby Day is the place to
learn. Training and coaching are included. Registrants from the same
legislative district will have the opportunity to visit legislators as a
delegation with appointments made for that district. Please join us!
To register, send your Name and Street address to FCWPP Ass’t Clerk,
sueburrus@yahoo.com with Lobby Day in the subject line.
We’ll send a confirmation with schedule, updates on the issues, and directions to the new Olympia Friends Meetinghouse – and set up appointments with your local legislators.

Working together, we can do amazing things!
