Activist University
Join us for our new virtual training series, Activist U, starting January 12, 2021!
Each session will offer a deeper understanding of Illinois’ political system and provide you with the tools you need to take meaningful action on issues that are important to you.
We'll cover current legislative priorities, from the REACH Act and improving health outcomes for Black mothers to increasing funding for family planning services and repealing the Parental Notice of Abortion Act.
The Details
The series begins with three "101" sessions on federal, state, and local government. During our “201" Policy Deep Dive sessions, we’ll take a closer look at PPIA’s 2021 agenda. Each session will feature special guests from partner organizations and elected officials.
Participants can sign up for the entire series or just pop in for the sessions that interest you most.
There is no cost to attend any part of the series.
You’ll graduate from Activist U on Virtual Lobby Day, March 2. This day will be your chance to put your new skills in action, speaking directly with elected officials and participating in digital actions that will help move our legislative goals forward.
