Participate in Social Current Policy Agenda-Setting Process
Social Current is currently leading a highly inclusive and collaborative process to engage its network in developing its federal policy agenda for 2022-2024. The agenda-setting process will determine the federal policies and issues of focus for our network’s collective policy and advocacy work. Our coordinated and connected efforts will provide the Social Current network with the support and influence needed to engage their boards, staff, and communities in achieving federal policy change.
“Social Current has tremendous ability to advocate for policies that equitably support our organizations and communities. By bringing together the Alliance for Strong Families and Communities and Council on Accreditation, we have greatly increased our reach and our impact,” said Social Current President and CEO Jody Levison-Johnson. “The development of our policy agenda is a critical step toward realizing our network’s collective power and influence.”
For an overview of our policy work, opportunities for network engagement, and the policy agenda-setting process, watch our on-demand webinar, Engaging in Policy Advocacy with Social Current.
