Planned Parenthood's Young Activist Team Lobbying Training

The training will go over the basics how to lobby, develop effective messages for targeted audiences, and mobilize a community around grassroots advocacy campaigns. The Young Activist Team (YAT) is a leadership and social networking program designed by and for young professionals, college, and high school students in South Florida. These local leaders share a passion for reproductive rights, social justice, and other progressive issues such as environmental justice, civil rights, gender and racial equality, GLBTQ rights, and health care access for all.
