Join us for Lutheran Day at the Legislature in 2025!
Planning for Lutheran Day at the Legislature is in full swing!
Our fourth annual advocacy day is February 10, 2025. Lutheran Day at the Legislature provides us all an opportunity to engage in direct advocacy together! Whether you are a seasoned advocate or a first timer, this event is for you. This year, we are visiting the Capitol just before crossover week, which means we have a chance to advocate for the types of policies we hope to see this year!
Legislators, LAMA community members, congregational liaisons, policy council members, clergy, and friends from across Arizona will gather together, living out our common belief that we are called to strive for justice and peace in all the earth.
Over a light breakfast and coffee, you will have a chance to catch up with old friends and make new ones, hear speakers, meet representatives, get to know other Lutherans from your legislative district, and pray for justice and guidance for all who serve in our government. We will then move on to a meet and greet with legislators and fellow advocates. There will be learning stations, opportunities to sit in on hearings, a tour of the Capitol, an introduction to the House and Senate, and, of course, individual meetings with our officials. FREE LUNCH will be provided for participants in the majority caucus room. Our office will provide you with information on our policy priorities and goals, as well as advocacy training before the day.
