What is advocacy, and how might we advocate for just systems that incarnate God’s love for the whole world? While the first session will introduce the theological reasons for engaging in advocacy, the remaining three sessions will be practical in nature so that participants can apply what they learn to actions they can take the very next day, if desired.
Session 1: What is “advocacy,” and how does scripture and our tradition call us to advocate on behalf of our neighbor?
Session 2: How do bills become laws, and how can we participate in the process?
Session 3: What are best practices for communicating with lawmakers?
Session 4: What is LAMA (Lutheran Advocacy Ministry of Arizona), and how can we participate in it?
