Top 10 Reasons to Participate in Advocacy Day
- You have more influence than lobbyists--seriously! Crucial child welfare legislation has been introduced as a result of your visits on previous Hill Days.
- Meeting the key staff of your Members of Congress is the best first step in developing an effective, long-term relationship--they have the most influence over your Members of Congress!
- The Congressional Foundation says so! In a recent survey of Congress, 99% all Hill staff say a face-to-face visit is the most effective contact from constituents.
- The children you serve depend on you to be their voice!
- There is a new Congressional leadership that promises to make change.
- Part of an organization or agency's responsibility is not only to provide services, but to advocate on behalf of their members, clients, and constituents. Who else will?
- Congress is there to work for you and to address your concerns. Let them know about the problems concerning abused and neglected children in your state and in this country.
- Let Congress know that although our world has changed, the needs of our children have not.
- The hour you spend on the Hill could make a lifetime of difference to a child in your agency.
