ABH Staff & Fellows Advocate at the Capitol
This legislative session, ABH staff and Public Health Advocacy Fellowship students have been actively meeting with their elected officials to advocate for the issues that matter most to them.
Participating in a Day at the Capitol event is a powerful way to get involved in legislative advocacy. These events, organized by advocacy groups and coalitions, provide structured opportunities for attendees to meet directly with their elected representatives and share their perspectives.
