Dear Massachusetts Wildlife Advocates
! ONE WEEK FROM TOMORROW !
It's time to speak in one strong voice to our legislators telling them to stop the use of anticoagulant rodenticides in Massachusetts ! Join small groups advocating with your elected officials to support An Act Restricting the Use of Rodenticides in the Environment (H965/S644). It will be a fun day starting with a Kick-Off Forum meeting the Red-tailed Hawk "Falco" from the New England Wildlife Center. Then, we will have a Meet & Greet Exhibition with legislators visiting tables hosted by community groups from across the state. Finally, we will break out by district to meet with our legislators. Everyone is welcome -you don't need to be an expert. We will have training sessions to help you feel confident. Registrants will receive a Lobby Day Toolkit with a full schedule, training invitations, and participant instructions.
Further - in this same vein please **join MASS AUDUBON's Heather Packard tonight (Wednesday, July 17, 7:00 - 8:00 pm) via Zoom for a free program - The State Legislative Process: How a Bill Becomes a Law. Join Heather to learn all about the legislative process including the role of advocates in how, where, and when to apply pressure. We will also learn how to follow legislation on Beacon Hill for prioritized bills. And finally we end with a quick overview of where each of Mass Audubon=E2=80=99s prioritized legislation https://www.massaudubon.org/take-action/advocate/policy-priorities is in this process
. If you can't make it, the meeting will be recorded and emailed to = anyone who has registered. You may also want to check out their Toolkit <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KGD3cA_4Zalad5H8BOkkhzTPWFfneSVbAIOoDU= p03A4/edit?usp=3Ddrive_link> for information on current actions, upcoming meetings, updates on our advocacy campaigns, and more !
