A message from The Alliance
Thank you to everyone who joined us at the Rally for Nonprofit Funding and Advocacy Day yesterday!
More than 1,800 nonprofit supporters rallied at the Capitol. By late morning, the Capitol lawn was a sea of green “Fund Nonprofits” shirts.
We were joined by a bipartisan, bicameral group of 55 members of the General Assembly, 20 of whom spoke to the crowd and voiced their support for increasing funding for nonprofits.
A special thank you to our speakers:
- Tracie Bernardi-Guzman, Community Partners in Action
- Ewa Grochowska, St. Vincent De Paul, Mission of Bristol
- Zacchaeus Jackson, Connor Williamson, Jordan Hickey and Weller Simmons, CCARC
- Heather LaTorra, Marrakech, Inc.
- Joe Mercer, Reliance Health
- Caitlyn Ogilvie, CHR
- Barry Simon, Oak Hill
