Each region of the state has a LaCAN Leader to support its grassroots advocacy members. These LaCAN Leaders are available to provide additional information and support in your advocacy efforts for systems change. This can include help understanding the content or actions needed for the latest advocacy alert, or assistance with activities such as writing your legislator, scheduling a legislative visit, or preparing public testimony.
