| Youth Advocacy Organizations Join Together to Launch Youth Policy Action Center |
|
| |
| More than 30 of the country’s leading national advocacy organizations have joined forces for improving policies and programs for children and youth. The new Youth Policy Action Center, generously supported by the award winning technology of Capitol Advantage, will help youth and concerned adults contact elected officials about important programs and initiatives – especially in the critical days before votes are cast on the floor of Congress. The Youth Policy Action Center gives young people a platform on which to stand and be counted in national debate and dialogue. It gives national advocacy organizations a way to come together and act as one. And it gives ordinary citizens – concerned parents, proud grandparents, dedicated teachers – political power which used to be the exclusive providence of entrenched special interest lobbyists.
For more information about this resource, or to sign up for bi-weekly updates, visit the Youth Policy Action Center (launched April 18, 2005): http://www.youthpolicyactioncenter.org
