Civics Education Lobby Day

March 5, 2019, 12:30 pm - 3:00 pm

LWVMA Civics Education Lobby Day

March 5, 12:30 – 3:30 p.m.

Boston State House, House Members Lounge

Join the league and our partners in the Massachusetts Civic Learning Coalition for the Civics Trust Fund Lobby Day.

Last session the legislature passed the civics education bill to fanfare and cheers.  But the Governor’s proposed 2020 budget does not include the necessary funding for the Civics Project Trust Fund, which would implement that legislation.  Register here so a meeting with legislators can be set up.

If you are unable to attend the lobby day, you can contact your state Senator and Representative (more info) and urge them to endorse $1.5 million in funding in the 2020 state budget for the newly-established Civics Project Trust Fund to support implementation of the civics education law.  Information on the trust fund is available here.
