advocacy

My colleagues have been working hard for the last few months to organize a training for activists who want to more effectively influence legislation. Here's the info:

On Sunday and Monday, Nov. 4-5, in Washington, D.C., FOR will host an advocacy skills training for people interested or engaged in grassroots civilian diplomacy. This training opportunity will feature several members of FOR's program staff as well as participants in various international peace delegations and nonviolence programs.
