Catholic Charities WV is happy to be one of 177+ partners in the Our Children Our Future campaign! Together, organizations and people across West Virginia have banded together to create and change state policies in an effort to end child poverty. We’d love for you to join us!
To get started, please consider attending one of the four [free] day-long Policy Workshops [lunch is included]. The workshops will be held in Davis, Beckley, Huntington, and Weirton. Several policy changes have been proposed, and will be explored at each Workshop. Choose to attend based on location, or the issue that you are most interested in. Read on for more detailed information! And you can always email me, Kate, at kkosydar@ccwva.org if you have questions. Happy Advocating!
Get ready for the best Policy Workshops ever. These day-long events are your opportunity to:
* get top-notch leadership and policy training,
* meet other top community leaders and legislators from both parties,
* and get a chance to shape the hot button issues that will define the next legislative session.
Spots are limited. Check out the information below about the issues being discussed at each workshop, and follow the links to REGISTER NOW!
