Step Up for Kids
Tuesday, September 16, 2008, Capitol Steps, Albany, NY
11:00 am - 1:00 pm

Rally to make children a state and national political priority!

                                 

On September 16th, New York CAN is hosting a rally in Albany on the Capitol steps, in conjunction with Step Up for Kids events across the country.  We are seeking to bring child friendly organizations and individuals together in every state capital to advocate on behalf of children and call upon Presidential, Congressional and statewide candidates to address the needs of children and discuss their plans for meeting those needs. The event is free but registration is requested - as we're hoping a large crowd will attend this event.

We will have as our guest, Bill Bentley, CEO of Voices for America's Children. With the elections a month away you won't want to miss this meeting. Now, more than ever, it's important for us to be united in support of children and families, both nationally and statewide. Learn more about how groups are coming together on the national level, how other state advocates are working to provide a voice for children, and how we can do more in New York State at the October meeting.
