Policy and Advocacy
Cheryl's Morning at the NCC
Care National Conference kicked off this morning with a call to action. Susan Crown, board member, welcomed over 600 participants, the largest group ever assembled, representing 40 states and 250 congressional districts.
These extraordinary times and the state of the financial crisis brings into focus just how interconnected our world really is. Helene Gayle noted that people have a tendency to focus inward during these times of crisis, but our assembly in the nation’s capital emphasizes the important of global poverty during these times.
Tomorrow the while we are connecting with our Congressional Leaders on Capital hill, hundreds of thousands of others will be connecting with their congressional leaders via phone call and email. Our many voices coming together in one movement to elevate global poverty on the US Agenda, the electricity and enthusiasm here is infectious.
