Day at the Capitol

Dear Members,

As you know,  AFCC-MN has recently committed to taking a more active role, and  becoming a more active voice, in conversations at the State Capitol that  affect families, and especially children, in conflict. Our first big  step in this direction is to encourage our members to meet with  lawmakers directly. We have organized an important “Day at the Capitol”  event for members on Monday, April 24, 2023, from 12:00 to 4:00 PM. We’ll  start with a free lunch and a policy and political briefing, then break  into small groups to meet directly with House and Senate members to  discuss our shared issue priorities.

We anticipate the  current session may see proposed legislation on issues such as a  presumption for equally shared parenting time, issues affecting the  Guardian ad Litem program, and issues relating to parentage generally.

As  members of AFCC, and as experienced and knowledgeable professionals,  your advocacy on these issues is both influential and vital. We hope you  will take this exciting opportunity to engage with members of the  Minnesota House and Senate and be part of the conversation.

Register today by clicking here.

Please join your fellow AFCC-MN members to advocate at the State Capitol and RSVP by clicking this link. There is no cost to attend, and our team will pre-schedule legislative meetings on your  behalf and have all materials ready for you. It is very easy – and very  important – to attend. We hope to see you there.

Sincerely,

Melissa Chawla President, AFCC-MN
