Families are powerful policy advocates when their lived experiences are communicated with clarity and purpose. This interactive workshop, presented by Kimberly Willis Green of Special Mommie Life, teaches participants how to transform personal experiences into concise, compelling advocacy stories that resonate with elected officials, agency leaders, and key stakeholders.

Participants learn how to align their stories with real policy issues and identify a clear, actionable advocacy ask—ensuring their voices are heard, remembered, and connected to meaningful policy change.
