Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Use the RSVP form linked on hrcoalition.org/events to sign up for the next Monday Toxic Prisons meeting or Thursday letter-writing night, or fill in the Get Involved form to join a campaign..
You need to sign up first.
What to expect
A Thursday letter-writing night runs 6 to 8 pm, with snacks and drinks provided, and you sign up through a form to get the location. The Monday Toxic Prisons Campaign meetings run 6 to 7 pm, you RSVP through a form first, and the group's program director leads them. The site does not say how many people usually come.
Tips for your first visit
- RSVP first: the Monday meetings use an RSVP form, and the letter-writing location is sent only after you sign up.
- Snacks and drinks are provided at letter-writing nights.
Newcomer welcome
Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: Both event series use public sign-up forms, and the Get Involved form is open to anyone. The page does not say the meetings are open to the public, so the rating stays at 3 instead of 4..
