Lobby Day

While Tulane BLSA will be unable to sponsor a member's attendance, any interested member should consider the Lobby Day opportunity:

HNBA-LSD, NLLSA & NBLSA Lobby Day 2011

Objective:

The 2011 Lobby Day will allow members of the Law Student Division of the Hispanic National Bar Association (HNBA-LSD), National Latina/o Law Students Association (NLLSA) and the National Black Law Students Association (NBLSA) to collaborate on legislative reform.

Lobby Day encourages HNBA-LSD, NLLSA and NBLSA members to actively participate in the democratic process. Students will be trained on effective lobbying methods, hear the perspectives of attorneys who have chosen careers in legislative advocacy, and most importantly, meet with legislators and staff to discuss necessary reforms. This year's panelists include Danielle McBeth of Alcade & Fay, Angela Rye of IMPACT-DC, Oneshia Herring, a Policy Advisor for Representative Alcee Hastings, and Ms. Kenya Wiley, Counsel for the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.

Date(s):

The 2011 Lobby Day will take place February 16-17, 2011.

Issue:

Reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). Additional information on the ESEA may be found here.
