Our voices can be powerful tools for
change. Research shows that
hearing from just seven constituents
on a single issue makes a state
legislator take notice.
Thanks for encouraging me to be a
voice for quality with my
legislator, and bringing me out of
my comfort zone. It's not something
I would consider doing on my own.
I wasn't nervous once I
started talking, and the words did
just flow
Legislators need to hear from us to
do their jobs effectively.
Representatives from a center or
home-based program, with support
from local advocates, can build
ongoing relationships with their
local legislators, sharing
information with them about the
everyday challenges we face in
providing quality child care.
