I just got an email this afternoon:

You'll receive training, key updates, talking points, and everything you will need for the day. We are meeting at the Michigan AFL-CIO at 419 S. Washington in Lansing, starting at 7:30 am.

This is what your day will look like:

7:30 am: Arrive at the Michigan AFL-CIO for training and materials, 419 S. Washington

8:15 am: Departure for the Capitol begins

8:30 am: Begin attending key hearings, visiting legislative offices, and visiting Governor Snyder's office

9:30 am: Second round of training at the Michigan AFL-CIO begins (if you are unable to arrive at 7:30 am)

10:00 am: Attend the Senate session and lobby senators from the floor

Noon: Attend the House session and lobby representatives from the floor

2:00 pm: Attend additional hearings

3:30 pm: Return to the AFL-CIO for debrief


Even if people can't attend the training sessions it would be great for anyone who will be in the area to show up at the Capitol. I'm going to try to head up when the dentist is through with me.
