This toolkit offers tried-and-true advocacy strategies and real-world tips to help members of the National Collaborative for Infants & Toddlers (NCIT) advance an impactful policy agenda.
While these strategies can be useful at any point in a legislative cycle, they are especially effective after an election because supporters remain energized and lawmakers are motivated to take action.
This toolkit shares strategies on scenario planning, post-election communications, preparing for new elections and building legislative target lists, engaging volunteers year-round, and asking smart questions of lawmakers.
Paid Family & Medical Leave (PFML) is a policy that provides workers with paid time off to address certain family and medical needs. Unlike traditional sick leave, PFML generally extends beyond short-term illness and can cover extended family caregiving or recovery periods.
