Lobby Day

TBD — Spring 2026 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM NYC City Hall, Manhattan

Meet face-to-face with your Council Member or their staff. We'll prepare you with talking points, pair you with experienced advocates, and walk you through the process. No experience needed — just your voice and your story.

What to Bring / Expect

  • A personal story about an animal you've rescued, fostered, or helped
  • Comfortable shoes — we'll be walking the halls
  • Your phone to document the day and share on social media
  • Water and snacks — it's a long day but worth every minute
  • We'll provide: printed materials, talking points, and name badges
