She shares how she became involved with United and how you, can too. Joining her is our Advocacy Director Stephen Lieberman, who discusses our vast, nationwide network of over 1,600 advocates in almost every legislative district. Steve tells how our working groups grew organically from advocates sharing about their local needs. They come together to share strategies on how to make change from their hometown up to Capitol Hill.
