As advocates for children, we must be part of the process of making the law. Below you’ll find resources that we hope you’ll find helpful in being a good advocate for children, including contact information so you can reach out yourself to state and federal legislators, as well as a detailed look at what Voices is following during the state legislative session.

Get to Know Georgia’s Lawmakers
Voices sat down with Georgia legislators to discuss a myriad of issues that are important to them in two video series:
