In case you missed it: CHN's Voices for Human Needs podcast recently released "Demystifying Lobbying: How You Can Lobby for Social Justice."

We're joined by CHN's very own Director of Public Policy Richelle Friedman, who explains why anyone can, and should, get involved in lobbying Congress and their local governments.

Hwa Young is a volunteer with one of CHN's member organizations, RESULTS, a national movement of volunteers learning to use their voices to advocate on behalf of policies that address poverty including education, health, and economic opportunity.
