ANCA WESTERN REGION TO HOST ANNUAL ADVOCACY DAY IN SACRAMENTO, CA ON
APRIL 7, 2014
LOS ANGELES, CA - Activists from across California will join the
Armenian National Committee of America-Western Region (ANCA-WR) for
its annual Advocacy Day in Sacramento, on Monday, April 7, 2014.
Since 2002, Armenian-Americans from across the Golden State have
joined the ANCA-WR and the California State Legislature to commemorate
the Armenian Genocide in the State Capitol. "While we remember and
honor the memory of the 1.5 million who perished during the Genocide,
Advocacy Day also serves to empower our community, by bringing
activists to the State Capitol to meet with their representatives and
communicate issues of concern to our community," stated ANCA-WR
Executive Director, Elen Asatryan. She continued, "For years, the
ANCA-WR Advocacy Day has attracted hundreds of participants and serves
as an important opportunity to educate, activate, and motivate
advocates on the legislative process."
This year, the commemoration of the 99th anniversary of the Armenian
Genocide will begin with ceremonies on both the California Senate and
Assembly floors, where legislators will have the opportunity to
deliver remarks about the Genocide. This will then be followed by a
vote on the Armenian Genocide Resolution. Participants will meet with
their legislators throughout the day to advocate current issues of
interest to Armenian Americans and will then participate in a meet and
greet reception with members of the legislature later in the
afternoon.
For individuals and groups who are interested in participating from
the Los Angeles area, bus transportation and lodging will be provided
to and from Sacramento. The bus will depart on Sunday, April 6, 2014
and will return the following evening on Monday, April 7, 2014. For
tickets, please visit http://www.itsmyseat.com/ancawr . Community
members interested in participating that do not need transportation or
lodging may register online at www.ancawr.org/registeradvocacyday. For
more information about Advocacy Day, visit www.ancawr.org, email
[email protected] or call (818) 500-1918.
More details on this years' Advocacy Day, including time and schedule,
to follow.
The Armenian National Committee of America-Western Region is the
largest and most influential Armenian American grassroots advocacy
organization in the Western United States. Working in coordination
with a network of offices, chapters, and supporters throughout the
Western United States and affiliated organizations around the country,
the ANCA-WR advances the concerns of the Armenian American community
on a broad range of issues.
