Learn the Basics of Advocacy: Empowering Our Communities for Change

There are ongoing and proposed changes to critical programs that threaten the well-being and future of our communities—locally and nationwide. Cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, Education, Social Security, Child Care, and other essential services could have devastating impacts. With so much happening, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or helpless.

But together, we can make a difference.

Join us for a free 2-hour advocacy workshop designed for community advocates, nonprofit leaders, and concerned residents. Learn practical tools to raise your voice and protect the programs our communities rely on.
