The ANCA-WR hosts an annual Advocacy Day in Sacramento, CA where hundreds of Armenian-American activists from around California visit the State Capitol and advocate for issues of concern to the community. Equally important, they meet activists from every corner of the state, exchanging ideas and thoughts, thus strengthening the network of grassroots activism which forms the foundation of the ANCA-WR.
Join us and the California State Legislature in commemorating the 100th Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide at the State Capitol in Sacramento. http://www.ancawr.org/AdvocacyDay/
A great opportunity to become active in the community as well as in the California state wide political realm awaits all members of the Armenian community on April 19-20, 2015.
