What is Advocacy? Advocacy = Education Telling a legislator how a policy affects constituents. Meeting with a government official to explain how a particular problem/issue is affecting a particular group or organization (the environment, mental health, schools, etc.) Using social media to get the word out about a cause/issue. Examples of advocacy – promote early childhood education, eliminate stigma related to mental health and addictions treatment. 2 11/2018 Board Folder Page 4 of 137 Advocacy Works! During the final 3 weeks of the FY19 budget negotiations we had nearly 5000 emails go to legislators regarding Section 298 and Autism services. Don’t depend on someone else speaking up for you. 11/2018 Board Folder Page 5 of 137 Advocacy Works! Compare the difference—over the past 8 years, campaign contributions given to current lawmakers: •Michigan Assoc of Health Plans & for-profit health plan executives have given OVER $1 million dollars. •CMH PAC has given around $40,000. 11/2018 Board Folder Page 6 of 137 Advocacy Works! Still, he said, the priority was given to local constituents. “If you came from back home and sat in my lobby, I talked to you without exception, regardless of the financial contributions,” Mulvaney said in his address to the American Bankers Association. 11/2018 Board Folder Page 7 of 137 As former Senate Majority Leader Everett Dirksen (R-IL) said… “When I feel the heat, I see the light.” 11/2018 Board Folder Page 8 of 137 Interacting with legislative offices Interacting with staff Put something in writing Most offices prefer e-mail vs. snail mail Easier to reply and track (send to state departments) Most of the written correspondences to offices is email (95/5) Know what outcome you are looking for Having facts straight Legislative process is complicated and can be confusing Keep it simple Be polite Staff is usually the gatekeeper for the member and can be a powerful advocate on your behalf. 11/2018 Board Folder Page 9 of 137 Interacting with legislative offices Interacting with legislators Stay on Message Keep it simple and to the point (5th grade level) Don’t assume they know what you are talking about 4000 – 5000 bills introduced Committee process Respect the Legislator’s time Give reasons for your position Explain how an issue would affect you, your family, your business, profession or local community they represent. Keep the Tone Positive and Constructive Know your audience (Republican / Democrat) Leave Fact Sheets Share your knowledge If you have specialized knowledge on an issue- share it! A concrete argument can be used by your legislator in determining the final outcome of a bill. Thank you 11/2018 Board Folder Page 10 of 137 Interacting with legislative offices Understanding a Legislators Schedule Schedules Legislators are in Lansing on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Mondays and Fridays are in-district days Many legislators have in-district office/coffee hours (each week or month) In-district meetings are the best time to interact with your legislator(s) the days activities are usually not as busy (in Lansing they usually have meeting after meeting – it’s a more distracting environment) Legislator are usually more casual Legislative Session House session: Normally Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 1:30 p.m. and Thursdays at 12:00 noon. Senate sessions: 10:00 a.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Legislators also have committee meetings at various times of the day. 11/2018 Board Folder Page 11 of 137 Alternative Ways to Interact with legislative offices Most legislators use social media as a way to communicate with the public Facebook & Twitter Many legislators post their votes and up coming community events on Facebook Easy way to track what they are doing in Lansing Other Newsletters If your agency does a monthly/quarterly newsletter ask your legislator to write a guest column. Be willing to put legislative newsletters or publications in your lobby. Events Make sure you invite your legislator(s) to your community events Agency Open House or annual meeting Walk-a-Mile In My Shoes Rally Quarterly breakfast meetings 11/2018 Board Folder Page 12 of 137 Impact of Term Limits Term limits cause turnover in Lansing every few years, requiring constituents like you to keep educating your lawmakers on issues impacting the mental health community. Legislators are in Lansing to represent their constituents. If you don’t communicate your message, they can’t convey it to the entire legislative body. Put a face on the issue Keep it local – its best to incorporate local examples and local impact Don’t assume they know the importance of the issue Medicaid expansion – many legislators said they only heard from constituents opposed to expansion. If an issue is important to you or your agency let them know. Communication is a two way street. Remember these are regular people, they just have a fancy title. 11/2018 Board Folder Page 13 of 137 Useful Information to stay informed Michigan Votes – plain language descriptions of every bill, amendment, and vote that takes place in the Michigan legislature. www.michiganvotes.org Michigan Legislature – copies of the bills, find the status, summaries, etc. www.legislature.mi.gov Michigan House of Representatives & Michigan Senate – find legislative contact information, committee and session calendars, and you can watch committees and session live. www.house.michigan.gov www.senate.michigan.gov 11/2018 Board Folder Page 14 of 137 Crystal Ball: 2018 Elections 11/2018 Board Folder Page 15 of 137 2018 Election – What’s at stake 11/2018 Board Folder Page 16 of 137 2018 Election – Blue Wave?
