Advocacy
Advocacy is at the heart of the Coalition’s work. Our partners listen to families, gather stories, and bring those stories to legislators and other decision-makers. They provide public policy advocacy opportunities, legislative resources, and tools that help families raise their voices in meaningful ways.
