What You Can Do—Advocate for WDC’s Priorities
Are you interested in getting involved with our WDC Advocacy Committee efforts? Would you dedicate time between November and April to contact key legislators about legislative priorities, and then help develop WDC bill testimony and advocate for specific bills during the Maryland legislative session?
If you want to make an impact on issues that are important to women and their families, our Advocacy Committee needs your energy and dedication!
Please
Contact Cynthia Rubenstein, Advocacy Committee Chair if you are interested in learning more about how you can help WDC Advocacy make a difference.
WDC’s strength resides in the engagement of its members, who make WDC a formidable force for progressive Democratic values. Join us!
