your voice can protect children
In Washington, our system of government is designed so that legislators are meant to listen to — and respond to — the people they represent.
Advocacy isn’t reserved for experts or insiders; it belongs to everyday citizens who care enough to speak up. At FCWA, we believe that when people use their voices with clarity, respect, and conviction, real change is possible. We’re here to encourage and equip you to engage in advocacy — because when it comes to protecting children, your voice truly matters.
