GCEPP Day at the Capitol

January 30 @ 8:00 am - 1:00 pm

Your legislators need to hear from you! Your voice is critical in advancing the needs of our community. Remember, your legislator works for you.
Please join us for EJ Day on Jan 30th from 8am to 1pm. This day will include training on issues and opportunities to meet with your legislator. We will begin at Central Presbyterian Church (201 Washington St SW, Atlanta, GA 30303) with coffee and training, and then walk to the State Capitol together.
We will also have an EJ Day Recap and Mixer on Fri, Jan 31st, 6pm to 8pm, at Manuel’s Tavern (602 North Highland Avenue Northeast, Atlanta, GA 30307). This is a casual mixer over food and drink to recap what happened and brainstorm next steps.
Please register using the form below so we can properly plan. 
If you’d like to get a jump start on the day – please read this guide on how to contact your policymakers and then reach out to your legislator to request a meeting on Jan 30th.
A simple email request might look like this:
