Recap of 2024 Lobby Day
A group of 45 PBG supporters met early at Central Presbyterian Church to prepare to go to the Capitol. Elizabeth Appley, PBG's public policy advocate briefed us on key issues and introduced several legislators who addressed the group. Special thanks to Rep. Kasey Carpenter (R-Dalton), Sen. Kim Jackson (D-Atlanta), Rep. Betsy Holland (D-Atlanta). and to our advocate, Elizabeth Appley.
​
PBG leader, Rev. David Lewicki, North Decatur Presbyterian Church, provided tips and inspiration. We broke into 6 teams and practiced interacting with legislators before going across the street. A group photo was taken on the second floor steps by the PCUSA Mission Communications team that was video taping the PBG event. We went to the House gallery where Rep. Holland recognized PBG from the House well. We met with several representatives on the House rope line. Afterwards, we returned to Central Presbyterian church to debrief and to sit for interviews with the Communications Team.
