On Tuesday, January 19 WCA joined hundreds of parents, youth, legislators, health care providers, educators, faith leaders, advocates, and others outside the NYS Capitol to raise our voices for the NYS CPRAC (Child Poverty Reduction Advisory Council).

Mothers from our Parent Empowerment groups, supported by Hudson Valley Credit Union joined in this rally effort. For some, this was their first trip to Albany! One parent, Keela, spoke about her difficult experiences navigating housing and development opportunities for her daughter.

WCA would like to thank the New York Can End Child Poverty coalition for organizing this event.
