Policy & Advocacy
We host and support events such as listening sessions, know-your-rights trainings, teach-ins to file civil rights complaints when their rights have been violated, and educational sessions that help break down barriers to understanding family law. Additionally, we seek to uplift existing resources and connect people to other opportunities to engage in the work. We also do legislative advocacy to support bills that would benefit the families that we serve or oppose those that would be harmful.
