Hello,

 

Children's Advocacy Day this year has expanded to now be Children's Advocacy Week (Feb 1 - 5, 2021.) Majority of the events/sessions will be conducted virtually, but there are options to safely meet with your legislators in Frankfort should you choose.

 

Be sure to register at https://kyyouth.org/childrens-advocacy-day-at-the-capitol/ in order to receive the latest info on how you can advocate for Kentucky youth this year.

 

Here (2021 Legislative Bills; 2021 Blueprint for Kentucky's Children) are helpful documents to guide you on policies and topics to discuss with your legislator. Included are highlights of bills/policies that could be considered top priority for KACAP members.

 

If you need to find your legislators, visit https://apps.legislature.ky.gov/findyourlegislator/findyourlegislator.html. Type in the address of your residence in the search bar, and it will determine both your senator and your representative.

 

For a comprehensive list of all bills for the 2021 Legislative Session, please visit https://apps.legislature.ky.gov/record/21rs/record.html

This year, KACAP will be collaborating with UK Pediatrics Residency group, the AdvoCats. If you would like to be included in their sessions during Advocacy Week, please e-mail me at jane.kim@uky.edu for more information.

Sincerely,

Your KACAP Advocacy Liaison
