PLEASE ATTEND THE
FAMILY ADVOCATES LEGISLATIVE STRATEGY BRUNCH!
Who: Anyone who wants better prevention, treatment and recovery services for those struggling with a substance use disorder
What: The
Maryland legislature will convene on January 14th. We need
representatives from around the state to meet with their elected
officials prior to that, as well as during the session, to educate them
on the issues and let them know why these issues are a top priority. We
stand a better chance of being successful if we can get everyone on
board with a single policy agenda, a good strategic plan, and a unified
voice.
When: Sunday, December 28th
10:30
-- 11:00 Meet fellow advocates from around the state. Enjoy pastries,
muffins and bagels with juice and coffee, compliments of Heroin Action
Coalition.
11:00 -- 12:30 Members of Heroin Action Coalition
will present a unified policy agenda comprised of issues that advocates
from around the state have been working on.
Jason DeLizio, a
Maryland lobbyist, will present an overview of how the legislature
works, and how we can best impact the process to achieve our goals in
2015.
Where: The State House Inn
Why: Overdose
death is now the leading cause of unexpected death in the state
--higher than car crash fatalities, homicides, or suicides.
Our
children continue to die at an unprecedented rate, without an adequate
response from our state leaders or a comprehensive strategy for solving
the problem.
In
order for better prevention, treatment and recovery services to become a
reality, our voice must be heard by those committed to serving us --our
elected officials!
--If they do not know our story, If we fail to ask for what we want --they cannot give us what we need!
R.S.V.P. to Lisa Lowe, Heroin Action Coalition
