FOCAL is engaged in a campaign to lift up the voices and needs of working families in Alabama and the Southeast:
Equal Voice for America’s Families. FOCAL joins the Marguerite Casey Foundation and many grassroots organizations in Alabama, the Southeast, and all over the country to develop a national family platform.
What are our goals?
- Spark national dialogue about the issues facing working families
- Build a movement of families working for change locally and nationally
How will we go about this?
- Hold community meetings to listen to families voice their needs and visions
- Plan Town Hall meetings to bring together larger groups of families to build a family platform
- Gather together thousands of families from the Southeast in Birmingham in September of 2008 to release the national family platform
When is the next meeting?
- Community meetings will be held throughout Alabama in December and January
- FOCAL is scheduling a Town Hall meeting for February in Auburn, Alabama
Watch for details! Let us hear your voice!!
