Lutherans and friends of Lutherans from across the state will gather at the Arizona Capitol in Wesley Bolin Plaza for a day of advocacy on Thursday, January 18, 2023 from 9:30 am - 1:30 pm to learn, to witness, eat! and voice our common needs in the public square, activating our faith in love.
Meet your legislators, meet congregational LAMA liaisons, meet your LAMA policy council, and meet other Lutherans across Arizona who share a common belief that we are called through our baptismal covenant “…to strive for justice and peace in all the earth.”
A light breakfast and coffee will be served as we meet and greet, mingle, hear speakers, meet representatives and pray for justice and for all who serve in government. Then we will move to a legislative caucus room, where there will be more time for meeting with legislators and talking with fellow advocates. Lunch will be served.
There will be opportunities to sit in on legislative hearings, view and be introduced from the House and Senate galleries, register for a Request To Speak account, and more.
