Join us on Oct. 8 for COHHIO’s second annual Advocacy Day at the Ohio Statehouse!
Advocacy Day is an opportunity to meet with members of the Ohio General Assembly to highlight all the amazing things you are doing to combat homelessness in your communities and politely demand the investments needed to address housing insecurity. COHHIO plans to set you up for a successful day at the Statehouse, where you will visit your elected representatives in small groups.
- Meet & Greet: Establish/build relationships with your state legislators.
- Educate: Teach legislators about housing insecurity in their districts, tell them about your hard work to end homelessness, and what the state can do to help.
- Advocate: Inspire them to support policies to further the mission of ending homelessness.
We’ll host two virtual training sessions ahead of the big day so that you know what to expect and how you can be most effective. During Advocacy Day, we’ll provide breakfast, lunch, a team leader, pre-scheduled meetings, and information packets for your legislative visits. Please fill out all three registration forms below and let’s make all this happen!!!
