The focus will be on four legislative issues: the ban on gays in the military, the lesbian and gay civil rights bill, women's health issues, and AIDS funding and research. These organizations are scheduling appointments for people to meet, often in groups, with their legislators or assistants. Groups can be more effective than individual visits, and they also provide a less intimidating atmosphere for first timers. If possible, call ahead of time to the March on Washington office or one of the three organizations coordinating the lobbying (phone numbers below). But you can drop in without prior arrangements to the Bellevue Hotel (Atrium, Packard Grille, and Lexington rooms) #15 E Street NW, near the Union Station Metro stop. Known by the organizers as "lobby central," the hotel will be a place to get information and meet others. Hour-long training sessions will be provided, and there will be debriefing meetings after the Capitol visits. For more information call one of the following: * March on Washington office, 202/628-0493; * Mobilization Against AIDS, 800/24-LOBBY, ask for Adrienne Blum (coordinating Western states); * Human Rights Campaign Fund, 202/628-4160, ask for Kevin Leyton or Mandy Carter (coordinating Southern and Atlantic states); * National Gay and Lesbian Task Force (202/332-6069, ask for Marla Stevens (coordinating Central/Northeastern states). She can also be reached by e-mail to "ngltf" on America Online. *****Copyright 1993 by John S. James.
