Advocacy means lending your voice to champion the issues that matter most to our community. United Way takes a nonpartisan, data-informed approach—engaging in efforts like writing letters, emailing, meeting with elected officials, and amplifying the concerns of our partners and those we serve. Using tools like 211 Counts, we ground our advocacy in real-time data that illustrates how people are using health and human services, helping us make a strong case to legislators.
Whether it’s protecting key strategies or responding to harmful budget cuts, United Way remains a dedicated advocate for programs and policies that help individuals and families thrive.
Advocacy is one of the most powerful ways to create lasting change for our neighbors, and United Way is committed to building that power in our community.
In partnership with Williams Nonprofiting Consulting, we equip community members with the tools and knowledge to influence policy and shape the future of our community.
