Building Community Partnerships to End Poverty

Community partnerships are essential to our advocacy and the greater mission to end poverty. The more constituents our members of Congress hear from on an issue, the bigger the influence on their actions to become champions for the end of poverty!

Find the recording, slides, and a list of resources below from the “Building Community Partnerships to End Poverty” webinar.  At this webinar, we shared tools to map your community for local partner organizations working on RESULTS issues, and how to connect with them through one-on-one conversations to explore opportunities to work together.

Summer community convenings to get members of Congress “On the Record” are a great time to engage with local partners, and this training will help you lay the groundwork and outline the next steps for you and your group in working with partners to advance your advocacy.
