During the second week of this year’s legislative session, many environmental bills were discussed and voted on in both the House and Senate committees. Our team worked behind the scenes before committee hearings to help lawmakers understand the details of bills and helped community members give public comments voicing their support or concerns.

Individuals (like you!) can also influence policy that affects your health and quality of life by speaking up and becoming community lobbyists. Every year we see more and more individuals redefining what it means to be a lobbyist who places community, accountability, and people over profit, setting the foundation for an era of greater democracy up on Capitol Hill.

7 Days down, 38 to go! Last week, we saw the introduction of over 400 bills, the Governor's priorities for the session, and the initial movement on environmental policies.
