About buses. Buses may unload
and park on the southwest side of Capitol Avenue,
directly in front of the Capitol building. Meters
will be capped in this area and marked "No Parking"
in order to reserve this space for Advocacy Day buses
only.
About legislators. If you haven't called your legislator to let him or her know you are coming on May 2nd, you should. We want for each of our lawmakers to respond by showing up to see you.
About Michigan Conference on
Affordable Housing Attendees. There will be a loop of handicap-accessible vans going from the Lansing Center to the Capitol. While we would love for the media to see hundreds of people walk from the Lansing Center to the Capitol, we recognize a three-block trek isn't possible for everyone. Therefore, we will have transportation available at the entrance to the Lansing Center. Additionally, conference attendees can stop by the Living In Michigan booth and make a colorful sign to wave during your walk from the Lansing Center to the Capitol.
Volunteers Needed
If you're coming to Advocacy Day: Lunch on the Lawn and would be willing to volunteer, we'd love your help. Of course, you still get your free lunch as well as see this historic event come together from the inside out. We just need your name, phone number and e-mail by the end of the day today. Please email this information to laura@donovanandsmith.com. We look forward to working with you and having some fun during this historic event.Advocacy Day: You Might Want to Know...
