Join our lobby team, partner organizations, and legislators for an update on what is happening at the Capitol and how you can take action as the legislative session enters its second half.  We’ll also have a live auction of this exquisite Charly Hamilton print and live performances by local musicians Sandy Sowell, Gerry Collyard, and Stephen Hill! Check out our agenda for the evening!
