WHERE: Massachusetts State House
24 Beacon Street
Boston, MA, 01233
Rm. 348
RSVP on Facebook or by emailing Boston for Congo.
Have you heard about blood diamonds? What about conflict minerals? The use of these resources by American companies in everyday products like cell phones and cars allows citizens to use the power of their voices to demand conflict-free products.
If you wish to make a substantial contribution to peace in the Democratic Republic of Congo, join Congo Action Now (CAN), Boston for Congo (BFC), and other caring citizens of the world when we meet with our state government to ensure our taxes do not fuel conflict in the Congo (you're welcome even if not a citizen or pay your taxes in a different state!).
No experience in advocacy? No worries! We will be holding a quick training on the bill we seek to pass (H.2898) and lobbying 101 before brief meetings with legislative offices. Your attendance makes a big impact on the elected officials we visit!
