Julie will give you practical information to make your next press release get noticed, including when and how to send a press release and what a good press release looks like. A question and answer period will follow Julie’s presentation.

United States - Equal Rights Petition
Virginia’s proposed anti-gay law could mean that denying service to lesbian, gay, and bi people is perfectly legal. Doctors, teachers, and so many others could refuse to treat and teach people just because of who they love. Please vote ‘no’ on this bill. Throw it out to send a strong message that your state stands up for equality.
