This month, we’re diving into The Essential Work of Advocacy. At Encompass, we believe every child deserves the support and opportunities they need to thrive. But belief isn’t enough. To truly support our children and families, we must work to shape the systems that affect them every day. In part one of a two-part discussion, Encompass Executive Director Nela Cumming breaks down why advocacy isn’t a sideline project—it’s core to our purpose for families.

Be sure to follow along for part two of this discussion on Advocacy. We’ll be joined by Akin President and Chief Executive Officer Dave Newell, and Birth to Three Executive Director Maryanne Barnes. Along with Nela, these powerhouse leaders from Washington nonprofts share their challenges and how we can drive systemic change for families.
