Subject: NARAL Pro-Choice Washington - Connecting with UPS Students

Hi Professor Jacobson, 

My name is Lillian and I am the Field Organizer at NARAL Pro-Choice Washington. NARAL is excited about the opportunity to connect with current UPS students, particularly those interested in politics and reproductive rights. Madison Grossan, my coworker and, UPS alum suggested that you would be a great person to contact. 

I wanted to share with you the description of NARAL's organizing and campaigns fellowship program in case there are students you know of who might be interested. I have also shared this with the Career Office, but as someone who works directly with students and knows what individuals might be looking for, wanted to share this with you directly.

Likewise, if there are ways that NARAL can support students within the program looking to learn more or connect with state-level advocacy organizations, please let me know! We're excited to be in touch.

Best,

Lillian
