It was wonderful connecting this month at our first meeting as an expanded Advocacy Council! At this gathering heard from members of the Policy and Organization Impact team with timely updates and action items—including calling to urge our Congressional Representatives to support the Build Back Better Act, which was just approved by the U.S. House and will next be voted on by the U.S. Senate (learn more)!

Next Meeting:
We look forward to reconnecting at our next meeting on December 7 from 5:00 - 6:30 p.m. This will be our annual holiday gathering and calling campaign where we help get the word out about WE's end of year fundraising campaign by making calls to the organization's most reliable supporters to remind them to make their year-end gifts. We're hoping to have as many people as possible at this meeting, so please invite friends and register to join the December gathering!
The Advocacy Council has set an ambitious goal of raising $6,000 in critically important flexible dollars to help advance WE's work through the end of year campaign. The campaign is live through December 31, and we're hoping for all hands on deck as we're working hard to ensure we reach our goal:
