It was a pleasure to join you in Albany for Advocacy Day yesterday. For those of you who attended Advocacy Day, I encourage you to consider sending a note of thanks to the legislators you met with to let them know you're grateful for their time and take the
opportunity to reiterate our priorities. Noah has uploaded the photos from Advocacy Day to the Gateway, as well as some draft "thank you" language for you to use if you wish.
