>On Thursday, February 6, 2014, for the fourth consecutive year, 
>representatives from Jewish organizations and lay leadership from 
>communities across the continent will come to Washington to learn 
>about public policy issues impacting the disability community and 
>then meet with their legislators and their staff to advocate on those issues.
>
>
>This day of advocacy is held in conjunction with 
><http://www.jewishfederations.org/page.aspx?id=260233>Jewish 
>Disability Awareness Month, a unified initiative each February to 
>raise awareness of disability issues and support efforts to foster 
>inclusion in Jewish communities worldwide. Advocacy is a key 
>component of this effort, so we hope you will join us in Washington 
>for this great opportunity.
>
>We are currently developing the agenda for the day, including the 
>issues on which we will be advocating, and more information will be 
>provided both through e-mail and through 
><http://www.jewishfederations.org/page.aspx?id=260233>this website 
>as the agenda evolves. Roughly, the day will begin with Kosher 
>breakfast being served at 8:30am, followed by a morning of briefings 
>with experts on disability policy issues and a "Lobbying 101" 
>session that will help you use the information you have learned and 
>the tools you will be provided (including one-pagers on the issues) 
>to be effective advocates. After those briefings and a Kosher lunch, 
>we will attend meetings with key legislators and their staff until 
>approximately 4:00pm.
