The 2020 General Assembly session is upon us – and we want to give you the tools to help make change in Annapolis. LWVMD will be joining Common Cause MD and other organizational trainers to get you ready for the legislative session!

The "Citizen Activism: Making an Impact in Maryland” day-long training will teach you how Maryland governance works and how you can influence the legislative process. The training will cover every aspect of the General Assembly session, and will give you the tools to follow the issues you care about and make a real impact on Maryland politics.

  • How Bill Becomes Law, Dates to Watch, First Weeks of Session
  • Bill Drafting to First Reader, Building Your Case
  • Committees in Action
  • Crossover Looms, Countdown to Sine Die
