Learning to Advocate for Children and Families, Episode 2: Advocating for Systemic Change, recorded on March 12, 2024

While legislative gridlock can prevent policies that are important to children and families from becoming law, communities are moving solutions forward. Meanwhile, the legislative redistricting process has become highly politicized, fueling further legislative gridlock that citizens and groups are responding to with their own policy solutions and programs.

This webinar will provide an overview of innovative state and regional approaches to family-friendly policies, highlighting how citizen advocacy made a difference. We will also dive into the process of redistricting; gerrymandering and why it matters to family-friendly policies and programs; and how to advocate and organize around these issues in your community.
