Katie West, Director of Strategic Initiatives at Housing Network of Rhode Island, will cover how housing policies are made, why advocacy matters and how to use your voice to make a difference. Her presentation will touch on key terms, current issues and simple ways to get involved – whether by sharing your story, joining a coalition or connecting with local decision-makers. Have you ever wondered what happens inside the State House or wanted to play a role in the big decisions made there? Grace Duffy, Policy Coordinator at the Community Provider Network of Rhode Island, will give you the tools to confidently talk to your legislators, give effective testimony and influence the policies that matter most to you.
