Use your voice and advocate for compassion and justice at the Texas Legislature!
The Texas Legislature will be in session in the Spring of 2025. Come to Austin with Fellowship Southwest to practice good advocacy tools, learn about issues, and engage with your legislators and their staff.
Pre-event webinars will be held Tuesday evenings (Jan 28, Feb 4, 11, 18) to deepen your knowledge of the issues we are focused on for Advocacy Day. The four issues will be determined closer to the date, as we know more about the shape of the 89th Legislature.
On Feb 25, we will convene at FBC Austin to review the issues, and practice and plan our office visits. After lunch, we will relocate to the Capitol for meetings. And we will debrief with a reception at the beautiful office of Raise Your Hand Texas, directly across the street from the Capitol.
When you register, we want to know the names of your state representative and senator. If you don't know who they are, find out here.
We want this information so we can set up legislative meetings for you ahead of time, and your state representative and senators' offices can expect you! You will NOT have meetings by yourself - we will make sure everyone has at least one other person to accompany them on their advocacy visits.
