New year, new information about Children’s Advocacy Week! With less than two weeks to go, we wanted to share the schedule and a few reminders to help you lift your voice on behalf of kids during Children’s Advocacy Week. 

Due to an increasing number of COVID cases, all events will now be virtual. Also, event times are subject to change—and new events may be added!—as legislators’ schedules change. We will send updates as needed, and we encourage you to check the schedule to confirm events. 

Links to participate in each event will be posted here and in the Children’s Advocacy Week app.
