Our advocacy committee serves as the catch-all group for advocacy issues not addressed by other committees or working groups. We meet monthly (usually the 1st Sunday of each month from 6 to 7:30 pm) and have an active Google email group and Slack channel. If you are interested in learning more, please contact Lisa Hart at [email protected] or 323.660.2780. (We have rotating meeting facilitators.) Or just join a meeting!
