Children's Advocacy Day

How to Advocate for KyUMH youth for this legislative session

KyUMH and many other children's organizations are working together to be a voice for Kentucky youth this session. Your senators and representatives want to hear about what matters to you! When we raise our voices together, we can make a difference.

There are several ways you can be involved in the session:

• Come to Frankfort and meeting with your legislators for Children's Advocacy Day on Wednesday, March 5.
• Sign up to receive "action alerts" via email with a script to call or email your legislator within 24 hours. These action alerts will be in response to bills or other decisions by the legislature.

If you would like to participate in Children's Advocacy Day, receive action alerts, or advocate in some other way, please let us know by filling out this form or getting in touch with Rebecca Merrill at (859) 523-2976 or rebecca.merrill@kyumh.org.

More information will be added here as the session gets underway! 

How to schedule a meeting with your legislator

Find your legislators here.

Call or email their office and ask to schedule an appointment with them. You will likely speak to an aide. Meetings are typically between 15-20 minutes.

KyUMH will equip you with talking points to share with your legislator. It is important to share you are their constituent and your concerns for Kentucky children and families. KyUMH staff members are available to join you at your meetings if needed.
