The Legislative Process in SC | Virtual Advocacy Bootcamp

Join Us Virtually
Category: Learning Together

Join us for our first-ever Advocacy Bootcamp, featuring three virtual sessions for those interested in learning how to deepen their personal advocacy skills, starting with the very basics.

In this second session, you'll learn about the SC Legislature and the legislative processes which govern how an idea becomes a bill and then a law under state law. We'll also cover who's who in the State House and how the House and Senate differ in structure, style, and dynamics.

Register for one session, or all three! Open to all Together SC members.
