Working for Changes

Currently on hiatus 

The Working for Changes group seeks individuals who are hungry to affect change by taking action.

We will learn what is happening in Albany as legislators return to the budget period and strategize on how to get our message across to ensure there is funding for the LGBTQ+ community. There are many methods, and we can use them all: Phone blasts, Social media blasts, Letter campaigns, visiting legislators in their Albany offices, etc.

If you don’t have any experience in the above, join us! This is not about what you know. It’s about empowerment by teaching and learning. We’re excited to learn from all of you.
