Celebrate April Fool’s Day with Acts of Social Justice at Legislative Advocacy Day!
Registration for our 2017 conference-wide Legislative Advocacy Day will open January 17th.
Our theme is taken from 1 Corinthians 1:27 – “The foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom…God uses the foolish to shame the wise.”

Participants are asked to bring a bag lunch. Drinks and snacks will be provided. There is no cost to attend our Legislative Advocacy Day.
According to a December Action Alert from the United Methodist Women National Office, maternal deaths in the United States are on the rise. Leading up to our legislative advocacy event, our conference United Methodist Women have been asked to advocate for the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act. More information can be found at this website, and a short video on pregnancy discrimination can be accessed here on YouTube.
We have much to do speaking truth to power in the days ahead. Come increase your awareness and develop advocacy skills with United Methodist Women sisters from across the conference.
