Reviewing Primary Asks
This training reviews the updated context for CCL's Fall 2025 Primary Asks as well as guidance for lobby teams as they plan their meetings. This is a recommended training for any CCL volunteer planning on being a part of their group's lobby meeting. We have co-primary asks and no secondary asks for the 2025 Fall Lobby Days.
