The Friends Committee on National Legislation is now registering for their next Spring Lobby Weekend to be held March 18-21, 2017. The topic will be “Dismantling Income Inequality.”
The program is basically three days of workshops and one day of lobbying, urging members of Congress to:
Support a jobs program for the 21st Century
Modernize our unemployment system for today’s workforce
Stop taxing single people and people under 25 into poverty
