This year, the Arkansas Kids Count Coalition is hosting a monthly webinar series, Policy 101, to explore the fundamentals of major policies and programs impacting children and families in Arkansas. The webinars are meant to provide advocates with the essentials around many important topics to help you in advocating for the well-being of Arkansas’s children. We will cover essential components of a program or policy, as well as current issues affecting the policy. We will end by answering your questions.

Want to learn the basics of how to advocate for and against laws at the state and federal level? In Advocacy 101, Rebecca Zimmermann, Community Engagement Director at Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families, will go over what you should consider when making a plan to advocate, dos and don’ts, and strategies.
