Children’s Advocacy Week kicks off

FRANKFORT, Ky. (WTVQ) – Monday kicks off Children’s Advocacy Week. Normally, hundreds of youth advocates from across the state gather in Frankfort for the annual event at the capitol but the pandemic has shifted plans.

According to Kentucky Youth Advocates, this year a series of virtual events will take place throughout the week. It’s an effort to urge legislators and other elected officials to make Kentucky children a priority during the 2021 legislative session by supporting the Blueprint for Kentucky’s Children Policy and Budget Agenda.

According to organizers, there will be 18 virtual events this week.
