Make your voice heard, create real change
WHY WE ADVOCATE

We are at our best when we harness the power of community. Together, we aim to address the root causes of inequality through advocacy, creating long-lasting, population-level change in our region. We unite people across sectors – community members, businesses, nonprofits, elected officials and policymakers – to build public will and promote engagement in the region’s most pressing issues. We contribute to movement building, influencing policy, and advancing narratives that will highlight our community’s aspirations and the barriers they face to achieving financial wellbeing.
