Community Event Host Toolkit

Featured Resource!

In this toolkit, you’ll find what you need to plan an amazing event in your community that highlights the impact of EI services and what our state leaders must do to address the ongoing crisis. Your event can be as big or small as you’d like – it can be a small gathering in a local coffee shop or a large outdoor rally. Any event that brings together folks in your community to talk about EI and how we can address the current crisis is a success. Our babies can’t wait!
