A Message from your Conference Social Action Mission Coordinator (Rosemary Uebel) For 14 years, Children’s Week has raised awareness of the needs of children of Florida with state legislators and others in Tallahassee. United Methodist Women have been strong supporters of Children’s Week in the past. This year, the Florida Annual Conference is taking participation in Children’s Week a step further by hosting Florida Advocacy Days (FAD).
Social Action (Phyllis Lindsay, Coordinator) Social Action Resources The United Methodist Women's Action Network can keep you informed. Click on the underlined link for information on joining this network. They can send you Action Alerts via US post office mail or you may view at action alerts online. Make your thoughts known to your elected officials. You can contact your elected officials a number of ways: Go to your voter ID card and look for your district number. Then look up your legislator's name in the phone book's government pages. Or you can go to the legislative or congressional sites below and based on your zip code, locate your legislator and his/her phone number, mailing address or email address. You can call, write letters to their office or email them. Most will respond to your letter. Stand up for the voiceless!
