Children’s Advocacy Day at the Capitol began in 2004 as an effort to unite advocates from across the state to raise their voices on behalf of children’s safety, health, education, and economic well-being. Hundreds of advocates from counties across Kentucky now gather at the Capitol in Frankfort every year to ask legislators to prioritize children.

The 13th Annual Children’s Advocacy Day will be Thursday, February 9, 2017. In 2016, more than 900 advocates attended the event in Frankfort! Elected officials, social workers, parents, teachers, judges, doctors, public health experts, therapists, members of the military, seniors, and youth came together to rally on children’s issues from the Blueprint for Kentucky’s Children agenda.
