Is VOICES a lobbying group?
VOICES does lobby for the annual Children’s Legislative Agenda and other legislation that affects children and families. However, lobbying for public policy to improve the lives of children is only one portion of VOICES’ work. In addition, research for Alabama Kids Count and other reports as well as communication and education of the public on children’s issues, and building of collaborations to improve child well-being are major parts of the work that VOICES does each year.
