My group members will be discussing the Southern HIV Coalition and the Interagency Coalition on AIDS and Development
I need to pick a coalition and Testimony will need to include:
Introduce yourself and the organization you represent within the coalition and/or your standing on the issue (resident, agency representative, expert, etc.)
State your position as “for” or “against” the proposed bill; identify the bill by name and number if appropriate (e.g. S.B. 768)
Provide the “Ask”: Tell the policy makers what you want them to do (vote yes or no on the bill)
Provide back-up documentation for your “ask.” This can include personal experience or facts and statistics. One scholarly reference is required to be cited in such a way that your listeners can find the information on their own. At least, include the author and the year in the statement. If a web link, provide such link.
