Show Notes
Greg speaks with Annette O’Connell and Shawna Hodgson about lobbying in state legislatures, plus other (kinda nutty) issues that pop up. As board members of Adoptees United and as advocates in New York and Texas, Annette and Shawna have years of experience in lobbying legislators on birth record legislation. They talk about their approach, how hard it is to do this work, and what it may look like in the future.
This is the third installment of Legislative Boot Camp, a series of podcast episodes exploring and explaining how legislatures work as well as how to get a bill enacted (or killed), told within the context of adoptee rights.
