Quotes from Justice in Action Participants:

“The actual meeting experience with senators was excellent, going to the legislative plaza, etc. Also, the group layout was good because it gave me more confidence as well as support and knowledge.”

“I thought this was a brilliant idea. Being a part of a group, many of whom were doing this for the first time, as I was, was empowering. I would’ve never done this on my own. I loved “my issue” being part of a larger set of progressive issues & learning more about those as well.”

“A unified approach on progressive issues helped inform us about concerns that we are naturally interested in, but haven’t had the time to research. This was such a great opportunity for people to tip-toe into the very essence of our democratic process (and be prepared to dive in next time)!”

“Demystified legislators—they are people just like we are. Keep up the efforts in promoting constituent involvement. Thanks NPJC.”

“Excellently organized throughout. Greatly impressed with the diversity of the group and the outreach to groups not previously affiliated with NPJC.”

“It’s always been in my heart to do more at the grassroots level of politics—and now I know that we all can do it!”
