MSPCC Champion Advocacy Network (CAN)

The MSPCC Champion Advocacy Network (CAN) is a statewide network of volunteers recruited to join MSPCC's advocacy efforts for passage of legislation and adoption of policy that promote the well-being of children and families.

Anyone Can Join
CAN members come from all walks of life and across Massachusetts.  Some are CEOs, stay-at-home parents, college students, and others are even elected officials!  Click HERE to join!

It Does Not Take Much Of Your Time
CAN members lend their voices when needed.  You might be called upon to quickly contact your representatives and senators or the governor concerning a bill or budget amendment.  Or you might be invited to attend a breakfast in your area to meet your legislators, or attend a meeting or ceremony at the State House.  CAN is a perfect opportunity for those who wish to volunteer but may have limited time to devote.

How You Can Be Involved
Mostly, you'll be asked to write, email, or call your legislators.  We can also identify opportunities for you to meet your elected officials.  We will keep you informed on policy initiatives and advocacy via emails and this website.

Why CAN?
Children are voiceless constituents.  We have to speak for them.  Sometimes just a handful of calls, letters, or emails from constituents to a legislator can make the difference.
