Lobby Day in Sacramento

Meet on the Capitol steps at 9:45AM for a group picture. Pertinent information for your meetings will be handed out. We will walk together to the Capitol Annex at 1021 O Street to meet with legislators and staff in their respective offices from 10:30 – 11:30AM. We will walk to the Senator building at 1121 L Street, for our luncheon hosted by California Family Council.

How to prepare & what to bring:

• Ask God for guidance & discernment.

• Dress is business professional.

• Have an oral short story about the impact of your services on a patient/client.

• Bring info about your center or a 1 page summary of facts & annual stats; bring copies     for both your Senator & Assembly Member.

Meeting Tips:

• Be respectful.

• Find common ground on critical issues such as women’s health care, support for families; refrain from making it a pro life vs. pro abortion debate.

• Be clear on the services you provide/don’t provide or refer for. See clinic and resource center talking points below. Steer clear of abortion pill reversal, but be prepared to answer questions if it is a service you provide & do not let that take up much time. Mention the bills that have come through this year which misrepresent the work you do. Be respectful of their time, max 15 mins, if the conversation is going well, ask if they have time to continue talking. Request to schedule a tour of your facility with their scheduler.
