Advocacy

Dedicated to establishing equity in our community? Raise your voice! Help us improve the health, education, and economic opportunity of every community member.

Be A Game-Changer

It’s about getting the attention of policymakers, getting them to listen and not letting up until we see the changes we’re advocating for. Join the equity advocates in our community to help us allocate resources and provide effective services and quality programs for low-income individuals and families. Here are just a few ways you can change the game.

Register to Vote

It’s a basic right, but it’s amazing how often people don’t vote. Whether the issue is local, regional or national, we urge everyone in our community to register to vote and participate in every election. Many people fought hard for you to have that vote. Say thank you by exercising your right. Here’s where to register to vote in NYS: https://www.ny.gov/services/register-vote.
