Hi Jim, Join us for Salsa's Third Thursday discussion this month where we will be discussing the gap between advocacy and policymaking. Even though the advocacy megaphone has gotten bigger and louder, is it projecting in the right direction? Shayna Englin, principal of Englin Consulting, will present recent findings on the "advocacy disconnect" and what it takes to effectively influence persuadable legislators. We'll talk about these questions among others: What do advocates think are the most important ways to take action? What do current and former senior legislative staff say are the best ways to influence a legislator who has not already made a firm decision on an issue? Are advocacy asks and advocate perceptions in alignment with how legislators are moved? After the discussion, we encourage you to stay and mingle with other nonprofit do-gooders, and your friends at Salsa as well as our partner community. Whether you have questions, want advice, or just want to mingle with peers, this happy hour will be a great time. Even if you can't make it to the discussion, you are welcome to join us for happy hour! Time: Discussion starts at 4:30 pm; Networking Happy Hour starts at 5:30 pm Place: Salsa Labs 1700 Connecticut Ave NW Washington DC 20009 Register We hope to see you there!, Jessica Jessica Seward Community & Marketing Salsa   If you prefer not to receive Salsa email, you can always Unsubscribe. © Salsa Labs (Salsa) 1700 Connecticut Ave NW, Ste 403 | Washington DC 20009
