As part of a comprehensive "Vote for Kids" campaign, we (the advocacy program at my organization, in coordination with the ACEs-focused Initiative I direct) are gearing up for election season this year in Alaska. We are trying to figure out how to get questions inserted into candidate debates and published candidate questionnaires about issues affecting family and children well-being. These questions will include topics from childcare to wages to housing and something about ACEs and trauma-informed systems change.
I've been searching in here but have not yet found anything. Have you found or used any examples of questions that bring the urgency of this topic to the forefront of the political debate and push candidates to address it as an important issue and, preferably, pledge to fund this kind of work?
Thank you!
