2nd Annual Ivy Day of Action

On Monday, February 16th (Presidents’ Day), our Social Justice Ministry will be in Richmond for our 2nd Annual Day of Action at the General Assembly. The day will include meetings with legislators, observing committee meetings, and learning firsthand about the legislative process. This experience is primarily educational and centered on understanding policies that directly impact our communities and families.

We will host a virtual interest and training meeting on Monday, January 12th at 7:00 p.m. to walk through what to expect and to discuss advocacy and lobbying more broadly!
