Join Advocates Across Illinois Virtually to Amplify the Importance of Early Learning & Care Programs
Even virtually, your voice is critically important to driving change for Illinois children and families. Start Early is excited to provide several new tools and opportunities through our Advocacy in Action Series. Our easy-to-use resources support crucial calls of increased investments and improvements to early childhood services in the state.
In addition to short videos, we’ll offer sample letters, helpful links, graphics and other resources to promote engagement with state legislators. You can find all our resources on the Advocacy in Action page.
Please check the page regularly as we update resources and share information about our Virtual Early Childhood Advocacy Day later this spring.
