On Monday 27th March, Fossil Free Greater Manchester will host a special skill-share and training on how to have successful lobbying meetings.
This session will be particularly useful for people working on divestment campaigns who wish to meet with councillors, MPs or other public officials, but will also be helpful for any other campaigns you’re involved with.
Everybody attending will have an opportunity to participate as we will be working in small groups: no powerpoint or long lectures. By the end we should each have made a practical action plan for carrying out our next lobbying meeting.
The skill-share will take place at the Friends Meeting House on Mount Street (behind Central Library) from 7pm on Monday 27th March. Please email us at fossilfreegm@gmail.com if you’d like to join us.

There is an event coming up sooner at 20.30 on Saturday 25 March and it is called Earth Hour.
In order to celebrate human ingenuity, the success of fossil fuels, capitalism and the industrial revolution in taking us out of poverty, early death and ignorance, and to stop the UK looking like North Korea from space, remember to turn all the lights on in your house for one hour from 20.30 on Saturday 25 March 2017!
