Policy & Advocacy Committee
Chairs: John Wagner & Amy Schwartz
Four Freedoms Democratic Club currently has 12 Working Groups under the guidance of the Policy & Advocacy Committee. Working Groups are the advocacy engines for FFDC. Members create Working Groups to organize their policy passions on the issues confronting us at the neighborhood, city, state and federal levels, and advocate for legislation and other government actions. Working Groups design and engage all FFDC in advocacy efforts, including social media outreach, presentations at public hearings, and holding education events. We propose resolutions calling for advocacy by members and educate one another on the resolutions we adopt. Our current active Working Groups are as follows:
• Aid in Dying Working Group
• Climate & Environment Working Group
• Education Working Group
• Health Care Working Group
• Housing Working Group
• Impact of Technology
• Reforming the Democratic Party Working Group
• Rule of Law Working Group
• Science and Society Working Group
• Seniors Working Group
• Taxes Working Group
• Transportation Working Group
