December 2021 Dear Friend,  A new home, a new name, but the continuation of vitally important work. As you know by now, Children’s Advocates for Change opened its doors this year for business. Some of the board member and staff names may be familiar to those of you previously acquainted with Voices for Illinois Children. We’re still in the business of seeking those changes that improve the well-being of children across the state of Illinois and across the country. Whether it is housing, health care, education, or safety within a child’s home or in that child’s community, we seek the resources for our children and the policy changes that enable them to lead fulfilling lives. Every child deserves every opportunity and every resource life has to offer. Yet, every child doesn’t always have those chances. Sometimes, it is discrimination that stands in the way. Sometimes, it is indifference. Our charge at Children’s Advocates for Change is to break down those barriers facing our children, document their needs, and advocate for the resources they need – powerfully advocate to move policymakers and elected officials to act. Our advocacy work also requires financial resources. Please consider a year-end contribution to Children’s Advocates for Change so that we can continue our important work. You can make your donation today by going to our website, [link removed], or you can mail in a donation to Children’s Advocates for Change at 125 S. Clark Street, 17th Floor, Chicago, IL, 60603.  I look forward to you joining us on our journey to improve the lives of our children. With greater numbers, we provide an even greater force for change. Collectively, representing communities across the state that are small, large, urban, rural, white, Black, Hispanic, or Latino, we have the power to alter how our state treats and provides for children throughout the state and the country.  In advance, I thank you for your support and look forward to working with you in 2022.
