April 29th: Lobby Day 2025
Join Jews for Repro NY for Lobby Day in Albany on April 29th!
On Tuesday, April 29th, NCJW NY’s Jews for Repro NY will be meeting with our elected officials in Albany to discuss and press them to pass important reproductive rights legislation in New York State. Please join us, get to know your legislators and learn firsthand how you can help pass these bills.
Even if you have never lobbied previously, we want you to join us! We will offer virtual training beforehand, materials with bill information as well as summaries and talking points about our legislative priorities, so everyone will be prepared. There is strength in numbers and just showing up for support makes a difference.
We will provide round-trip transportation from Manhattan, and will add transportation directly from Brooklyn, Westchester, and Long Island locations if enough people request it.
Our legislative priorities for 2025 include:
- funding for abortion providers, for facility, staff, and security upgrades;
- the Health Information Privacy Act, protecting patient health data;
- allowing pharmacists to prescribe abortion medication to remove barriers to access;
- regulation of crisis pregnancy centers,
- and more!
Please register by April 23rd and share this exciting opportunity with your friends and fellow activists. The training session link and lobby day information and materials will be sent following registration, so please be on the lookout for our emails! Please reach out to Liz Zimmerman at ezimmerman@ncjwny.org with any questions.
A virtual training session will be held on April 23rd via Zoom. If you’re unable to attend, we will send the recorded training to you.
