Dear Groundwork Team, Advocacy Day is finally upon us and we are sold out! I have been overwhelmed by the support and interest in our event and can't wait for you to enjoy the day we have planned. Together we will deliver a powerful, unified message on the importance of increased investments in early childhood education to the Statehouse! I am happy to share the final agenda with you as we have been sharing exciting announcements along the way. In addition to our esteemed legislators, we look forward to hearing from Dr. Angel Rhodes from the Office of Governor John Kasich and from our partners at the Public Children Services Association of Ohio.
Check out our Advocacy Day Social Media tips below to follow along with us throughout the day, share our unified message and build relationships with your legislators. If you have any questions or concerns about Advocacy Day, please don't hesitate to contact myself or Lynanne at lwolf@groundworkohio. Thank you and see you next week! Shannon Jones Executive Director
