Our four Advocacy IssuesNCJW Bergen County Section has chosen to follow four advocacy issues closely this year. They are:
Our goal is to educate and inform you, our members, as well as the general public, about these issues. We will be planning programs, updating you at our meetings about upcoming legislation and urging you to phone or email your representatives in Trenton and Washington D.C. Last year we presented a program on Gun Violence at the Teaneck Library and are presently planning a November 19 General Meeting on Human Trafficking. Occasionally you may receive emails asking you to take action – either by signing a petition from one of our coalition partners or other advocacy organizations or to call or email your legislators regarding these issues. We hope you will join us in trying to make a difference in the lives of women, children and families by speaking out for social change. If you would like further information about these issues or would like to join one of our advocacy committees, please call our advocacy coordinators: Roz Altman (201) 342-1641 and Elaine Pollack (201) 385-2085.
