NY residents Earth Day Lobby Day

[Guest guest]

This Earth Day, join hundreds of citizen advocates

from across New York state to lobby our elected officials

on important environmental issues. We hope you will

attend this annual event on Monday, April 22nd at the

State Capitol in Albany.

***************************

Earth Day Lobby Day is your chance to participate in

a day-long event on behalf of the environment. Spend

the morning session hearing from legislative and environmental

leaders, and then lobby in the afternoon. This year

we will hear from Senate Environmental Conservation

Chair Carl Marcellino and new Assembly Environmental

Conservation Chair DiNapoli, among others.

The morning session also includes a How-to-Lobby workshop

and issue briefings. After the noon rally, we will

break into targeted lobby teams, with a concurrent

program for those who are not lobbying.

We need your help to build the strongest possible Earth

Day Lobby Day!

Registration Cost: Only $5. Free for students.

THE EARTH DAY LOBBY DAY AGENDA:

Composed of representatives from national, state and

local environmental groups, the Earth Day Lobby Day

Steering Committee has been working to develop a strong,

representative agenda. This year we will be lobbying

in support of legislation addressing issues like cleaner

power plants, Superfund/brownfields cleanups, healthy

school environments, open space funding and an expanded

bottle bill. This ambitious agenda unites environmentalists

from the state's largest cities to its most rural areas.

Selected from a long list of bills and broad issue

areas, the agenda aims for state lawmakers to take

some real steps to protect New York's environment this

year.
