All Northern Illinois United Methodists are welcome to attend the Legislative Lobby Day trip to Springfield on May 7. The Advocacy Partners of the Northern Illinois Conference Commission on Religion and Race is planning the event.
Participants will arrive in Springfield by mid-morning. They will first tour the capitol and then attend their pre-arranged meetings with their state legislators.
Participants will attend two preparatory meetings: a training session on March 3, 7 to 8:30 p.m., and an orientation session, April 26, 9 to 10:30 a.m. Those who absolutely cannot attend in person can watch the video recordings once they are posted.
Transportation options include riding a small bus from one church, carpooling with others, and/or staying at a hotel the night before (at the participant’s own cost). The registration form will list the options.
