During this visit, we lobbied for $20 million dedicated for violence interrupters in the Community Violence Intervention and Prevention Initiative (CVI) in the FY24 Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies subcommittee (CJS) bill.

We had a great turnout for our movie, dinner, and discussion tonight! We learned about the kids in Venezuela who tried to use their passion for music to escape poverty. And we heard more context from Venezuelan María José Ramírez Braiz https://www.facebook.com/MajoTLCN, who has been living for the past 10 years in St. Joseph and is the founder and CEO of Te Lo Cuento News.

The team lobbied Senator Hawley's legislative aide this week on SJ Res 56. Al was energized by the visit and reminded about the importance of the situation in Yemen. We are continuing to build a positive relationship with him.

Advocacy Teams are Quakers and friends changing public policy.
In 2022, we're working to end U.S. support for the Saudi-led war in Yemen.

This is what a lobbyist looks like! We'd love to have you join us!
