A doctor who was an immigrant from Iran saved my dad’s life. My mother always says, if it wasn’t for immigrants I’d be a widow.
I have a lot to say to our senators. Last year we helped to stop a bill from getting to the floor. Spring Lobby Weekend is an opportunity to connect with other passionate, like-minded people.
There is a huge divide between politics and policy. But we need to understand both. I’m always trying to encourage people to reach out to elected officials. After this weekend, I’m more able to coach people on how to lobby, visit their local lawmakers, and be strategic in targeting those lawmakers.
