What we're working on in 2022...
Session is around the corner (starts January 10! 👀)
Be prepared – register now for our Annual MLK Lobby Day on January 17!
Earlier this year, we participated in the state’s first ever virtual legislative session. From January to April we e-mailed our lawmakers, called in to testify on smart phones and laptops, and signed in “pro” at online hearings to show our support.
Navigating the online session didn’t stop us from getting the Working Families Tax Credit (WFTC) updated and fully funded, an increase to the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) cash grant, and HUGE investments in housing and food, and cash assistance for immigrant families.
And now it looks like we will be advocating online again this session.
Based on the stories and feedback we’ve heard from people most impacted by economic injustice across the state, we are focusing our policy work this session on the following:
- Basic Needs
- Cash Assistance
- Dental Care Access
- Safety & Civil Rights
- Barriers to Re-entry

Our full 2022 Policy Agenda is coming soon!
BONUS: Register before January 7 to get your Lobby Day kit delivered in the mail. Includes:
- Materials to prepare for lawmaker meetings & advocacy all session long
- Pages for notes and coloring 🌈
- Poverty Action tote bag, limited edition stickers, pens, & more!
We are so excited for you to join us to keep up the momentum from 2021’s legislative wins
