Advocacy and Education
Our Advocacy and Education programming works to develop programs to fill needs gaps in our area, provide information and referral services, advocate for change, and support those advocating for change through political action, public education, and lending support to causes and organizations that align with our values.
Advocacy is an ongoing and ever changing need in our community. Our Advocacy Team responds to current events and community requests as the need arises. Our Advocacy Team is actively working on prioritizing our agenda to ensure we are a strong voice for our community. The goal of the Advocacy Team is to help the community find their voice and support individuals and systems in the fight to create more inclusive and equitable policy and public opinion.
