November 16th, 2020 meeting
Thank you to everyone who came to our second meeting! During this meeting we went over one of Amnesty International's 80 policy recommendations for the new Biden administration. Afterwards, we learned about the Break the Cycle of Violence act, which we will be lobbying sometime before February. Lastly, we did a walkthrough of a lobby. If you have any questions about the lobbying process please let us know! Make sure you filled out the lobby sign-up form (different from the interest form at the beginning of the year).

First Meeting (October 19th, 2020)
Thank you to everyone who was able to attend first meeting. If you could not attend, please watch the recording as attendance is mandatory. While we do prefer members to tune in live, especially in upcoming meetings, watching the recording will count as attendance. During the meeting, we went over some plans for upcoming lobbying, signed a petition, and introduced Write for Rights, a campaign we will be working on over the next few months. Lobbying is mandatory and all members are required to sign up through this link before the next meeting. Thank you!
