NEXT STEPS

In addition to the immediate exemption situation, long term change comes through the people connecting with their representatives and venturing into local politics. Most of us never wanted to be political but the times have made it necessary. We’ve found the most effective way to have our voices heard is by building honest, organic relationships with school, city, state and/or national leaders. It sounds intimidating but something as simple as sending emails, engaging on social media, attending a coffee hour or helping make phone calls for your favorite candidate can start the ball rolling and make a difference. If you’d like to learn more about those options and other family friendly events, keep an eye on our email list and website as it will be updated soon with links.
