Join us for Lobby Day
Lobby DayPennsylvania State Capitol in Harrisburg Would you like legislation passed that increases energy efficiency? That increases the use of renewable energy? Are you worried that the utility and coal mining industries are pushing the Pennsylvania General Assembly to oppose such important legislation? Then register for the June 3rd lobby day, sponsored by the Sierra Club Pennsylvania Chapter. Your voice is needed to push for legislation that will promote energy conservation and alternatives to fossil fuels. Everyone, from novices to experienced lobbyists, is encouraged to come. Complete the registration form and share the lobby day event flyer with others. Please send me your completed registration form as soon as possible so we can work with you to set up appointments with your senator and representative. There are key senators that need to be targeted in each Sierra Club Group, and these are listed below. Whether or not your senator is a target senator, it is important for them to hear from their constituents. Let’s fill the capitol halls with a Sierra Club presence! SPG: Pileggi, Erickson, Rafferty, Greenleaf, Fumo,
Hughes, Kitchen, Washington, Williams Reimbursement for lunch and travel costs is available. We are working to arrange overnight hospitality for those who would like to arrive the day before; please let us know if you would be interested. For those who live in the Harrisburg area, we are looking for people to host out-of-town members. This is a great way to help out, even if you can’t attend the lobby day itself! Lobby day activities will include a briefing session on the energy issues we are working on and how to effectively lobby. This will be followed by appointments with legislators from your district. The day will end with an optional lunch and debriefing session to discuss lobbying experiences and your legislators’ opinions on our positions. If you are unable to attend the morning briefing session, there will be a briefing session done via conference call the day before, June 2nd, from 7pm-8pm. It’s the same great information both days, so choose the one most convenient for you! Please contact Elana Richman at sierra.intern@dejazzd.com or via 717-232-0101. Sierra Club® and "Explore,
