From PP Advocacy fund of MA:
Make your voice heard by joining hundreds of sexual health advocates from across the state for the Sexual Health Lobby Day at the Massachusetts State House in Boston on Tuesday, January 31, 2017. Sexual Health Lobby Day is an exciting and meaningful opportunity to meet directly with your elected officials and advocate for access to sexual and reproductive health care.
In today’s uncertain national political climate, we need to ensure that here in Massachusetts sexual and reproductive health care is prioritized, defended, and expanded by our own state legislature. Sign up below!
Please join for some or all of the following activities at the State House in Boston.
Sexual Health Fair: From 9:30 a.m.-10:30 a.m., grab some coffee and meet representatives from the state’s leading sexual health providers and advocacy organizations to learn about opportunities to get involved, take action, and take care of your health.

Meetings with Legislators: From approximately 12:00 p.m.– 2:00 p.m., join a group of your peers from your legislative district(s) in meetings with your state legislators and let them know sexual health matters to you!
