Advocacy

Recent federal & state actions to cut safety net programs have made collective advocacy an even greater priority for our system's longevity.

How we advocate for and mobilize on behalf of the safety net matters. While our sector has been under-resourced for years, recent federal and state actions to cut safety net programs have made collective advocacy an even greater priority for our system's longevity.

To mobilize a common framework for advocacy, HealthSpark Foundation is supporting the Here for Us Advocacy Coalition, a growing partnership group for nonprofits and other community members in Montgomery County. Starting in 2020, Here for Us will be developing a leadership team and consumer advisory panel, launching its online presence, and developing a policy platform.
