Elevating Our Voices on Issues That Matter

How do you get your voice heard? Film a statement and send it directly to your legislator!

On June 8th, 2011, 9to5 and Citizen Action hosted a childcare event to Honor, Educate, and Arm working moms. We recorded 19 videos to deliver to ten different state legislators at Lobby Day the following morning. Please take a moment to view some of their statements.

In addition, during this action-based event, members made 31 calls to state legislators, many for whom it was the first time ever to contact their legislator, and wrote 12 Letters to the Editor.

What do you think about cuts to childcare? What about work/family flexibility, economic security, or equal opportunity? Join 9to5 as we elevate voices in our community to bring attention to our needs and work toward economic justice! If you are willing to share your story like the men and women in the video clips did, please contact Amy at 414-274-0925. Your story is important and needs to be heard now more than ever.
