Public Policy Legislative Talking Points and Positions on Priority Legislation 2023

• Meeting legislators in person is an effective and exciting way to make sure they understand AAUW positions on our priority issues. And there’s strength in numbers. If every branch sent representatives to lobby, our case would be more powerful. Please start now to assemble a group from your branch.
• We realize it is a commitment of time and money, so AAUW Florida will offer a small stipend to help offset travel costs. Stipend: graduated scale ($50-$80) depending on your driving distance plus $50 to help with lodging. This is to help with expenses, not cover all of them.

• AAUW advocates should plan to arrive in Tallahassee on Monday night, March 13, for a short meeting in preparation for our visit to the capitol on Tuesday, March 14.
•  A Pre-Lobby Day Legislative Agenda/Public Policy Discussion and training session will be conducted, 2 March 2023 @ 7:00 p.m. prior to our departure for Tallahassee, addressing the “who, what, when, where, why and how of Lobby Days.” Please register for this Zoom event even if you will not be attending lobby days for information on how to advance gender equity through advocacy. 

• Dinner together Tuesday evening location TBA.
• A Lobby Day action alert distributed while we are in Tallahassee. In order to receive the alert, you must be signed up as a Two Minute Activist.

• If you are planning on attending Lobby Days 2023, start making your appointments with your state legislators today.
• Also, it’s not too early to make hotel reservations.
