[MassHistPres] FW: First Ever In-District Lobby Day for Historic Preservation

[Maggie Rosa]

Are people interested in participating in a local Preservation Lobby Day?
It seems like something many people on this list serve would be interested
in. 
What does Mass Historic think about the value of lobbying our politicians in
this format?
Thanks

Maggie

IN-DISTRICT PRESERVATION LOBBY DAY! Each  year for the past several decades,
Preservation Action has  coordinated a Lobby Day on Capitol Hill for
preservation  advocates nationwide. This event has grown over the years, and
a few weeks ago during our 2007 Lobby Day, Preservation Action  had more
members than we've ever had lobbying together in our  nation's capitol.  At
our  annual meeting this year, our Board expressed resounding  support for
expanding Lobby Day to a program of in-district  events. Getting what we ask
for requires more than once-a-year  outreach. The grassroots are more
important now than ever in  shaping Congress's view of who we are and why
preservation is  integral to the communities they represent. We have to show
our leadership why preservation is important in their states  and districts
year round ... and locally!  We have  a new Congress and a world of new
opportunities. Let's make  the most of them!  Help us  build Lobby Day into
an year-long effort accessible to  all preservationists, whether or not they
can make it  to Washington, DC! This year, we're hoping you'll take part  in
a series of Lobby Days in states across the nation,  during Historic
Preservation month in May, specifically the  last week of May (May 28 - June
1)  when legislators will be back in their districts.  Will you  take part
in an in-district Lobby Day? Let me know  today! Either  email at
hmacintosh at preservationaction.org <mailto:hmacintosh at preservationaction.org>
; or  call the office at 202-637-7873. We'll  provide more information about
in-district Lobby Days  soon. Best  wishes -- Heather  MacIntosh
