NCJW’s advocacy program integrates education with social action.

We champion issues important to us and our community:

- Well-being of women, children and families
- Individual and civil rights and freedoms
- Welfare reform
- Health care reform
- Services to seniors
- Social justice
- Poverty

We want to make a difference and we believe we need to hold politicians accountable for their actions and their votes.

 

LOCAL ADVOCACY EFFORTS

The NCJW-St. Louis Section office and our State Public Affairs (SPA) chair coordinate local advocacy efforts.

 

Lunch & Learn

Cocktails & Causes

An initiative started in 2010 that's an offshoot of NCJW's Lunch and Learn program. Because so many women under 40 have expressed interest in learning more about advocacy issues, but are unable to attend programs during the day, we are now proud to give them an opportunity to learn, schmooze and have fun. Early evening hours, usually 5:30 - 7:30pm.

Monitor Legislative Action and alert the membership.
