EWA Plans Day of Advocacy: Participate in a June 23 Call-In Day!

The CSWE Gero-Ed Center is a member of the national Eldercare Workforce Alliance (EWA) whose mission is to address our nation’s worsening eldercare crisis by building a caring and competent eldercare workforce. Several important bills have been unveiled by members of Congress that would affect the social work workforce. The Alliance will conduct visits to Capitol Hill on June 23, 2009 to advocate for these efforts.

EWA and the CSWE Gero-Ed Center invite you to participate in a Call-in Day that will be held on June 23, 2009, concurrently with EWA’s day on the Hill. Your participation will help maximize the impact of this advocacy effort. More information will be distributed in the next two weeks, including core messages and talking points. You will also receive access to a congressional call-in system that will help connect you to your Representatives on the Energy and Commerce; Ways and Means; and Education and Labor Committees.

Your help is needed! Information will be posted on the Gero-Ed Center home page in the next week. For more information on the overall efforts of the Alliance visit the EWA Press Room.
