We will also discuss the core components of advocacy and highlight the many different methods one can use to push for positive change. We'll provide tips for speaking with legislators, and you'll have the chance to design your own advocacy campaign in a safe and supportive setting.  Register for the April 10 New Britain workshop   When: April 10th, 6pm-8pm Where: New Britain Public Library Register for the June 13 Bridgeport workshop  When: June 13th, 6pm-8pm Where: Burroughs Center, Bridgeport Both workshops are free, open to all ages, and catered by local restaurants.
