What Advocacy Day Is:
On Wednesday, May 2, 2007, CSCS will bring seniors to City Hall to meet in delegations with their Councilmember. THIS IS NOT A RALLY – IT IS INDIVIDUAL MEETINGS OF 4-7 SENIORS WITH THEIR COUNCILMEMBER.
Advocacy Day has proven to be a very effective tool to have seniors speak out on their own behalf regarding services.
Organizing of Advocacy Day:
The purpose of Advocacy Day at City Hall is to allow seniors to meet with their Councilmembers around a common agenda regarding funding for services and policies. CSCS will be sending you a packet of material in the coming weeks.
CSCS will set up all the meetings centrally with Councilmembers.
The day will begin with a 10:00 press conference on the steps of City Hall. More information will follow on this.
The meetings will most likely fall between 11:00 am – 12 noon that day, at 250 Broadway (across the street from City Hall) where the Councilmembers have their offices.
CSCS will organize the 51 delegations of seniors to meet with their councilmember.
Agencies will be responsible for their own transportation that day.
