A New Policy's Guide to Engaging your Member of Congress with former U.S. government officials Josh Paul and Fayrouz Saad

This August, as Members of Congress return to their home districts to meet with constituents, they must be met with grassroots mobilization calling for a fundamental shift in U.S. policy toward Palestine and Israel. It is critical to show elected officials that these calls have not faded, rather, the demand has grown – becoming more urgent and their constituents becoming more informed than ever before.

That’s why A New Policy would like to invite you and your members to a webinar for advocates and grassroots organizations alike on how to engage with Members during the August recess on Palestine and pressing related issues including the urgent need to stop the bombs, to use U.S. leverage to immediately end Israel’s forced starvation campaign, and to prevent any further escalation of settler terrorism across the West Bank. Drawing on decades of experience in government, grassroots organizing, and A New Policy’s daily interactions with both Democrats and Republicans in Congress, this webinar will cover:

• Legislative Update & Perspective

• How to identify opportunities to engage with your Member of Congress (Representatives and Senators) during the August Recess.

• Tips and Tricks to make them stop and think.

• Honey or Vinegar? What’s the right tone?

• Framing and Connecting: Which angle to take?

• Asks: How to identify the appropriate asks, how to make them, and how to follow-up on them.

• Transactionalism and Relationship Building.

• Thinking beyond the Member: Engaging the mechanisms of local party politics.

We hope you and your members can join us for this free webinar with A New Policy co-founder Josh Paul and other experts, on August 4th at 8pm EST/5pm PST
