Advocate with Heart: Lutheran Day at the Arizona Legislature
Lutheran Advocacy Ministry Arizona (LAMA) invites you to participate in the pivotal event, "Lutheran Day at the Legislature," on January 18, 2024. This gathering at the Arizona Capitol is a powerful opportunity for Lutherans and allies to advocate for critical issues and connect with legislative leaders. As we prepare to raise our voices for justice and peace, LAMA offers a wealth of resources to get involved. From preparatory meetings to promotional materials, everything you need can be found on the event’s resource page. Don’t miss the chance to be a part of shaping the policies that affect our communities and state.
Lutherans and friends of Lutherans from across the state will gather at the Arizona Capitol in Wesley Bolin Plaza for a day of advocacy on Thursday, January 18, 2023 from 9:30 am - 1:30 pm to learn, to witness, eat! and voice our common needs in the public square, activating our faith in love. Register for Lutheran Day at the Legislature 2024.
Meet your legislators, meet congregational LAMA liaisons, meet your LAMA policy council, and meet other Lutherans across Arizona who share a common belief that we are called through our baptismal covenant “…to strive for justice and peace in all the earth.”
A light breakfast and coffee will be served as we meet and greet, mingle, hear speakers, meet representatives and pray for justice and for all who serve in government. Then we will move to a legislative caucus room, where there will be more time for meeting with legislators and talking with fellow advocates. Lunch will be served.
There will be opportunities to sit in on legislative hearings, view and be introduced from the House and Senate galleries, register for a Request To Speak account, and more.
