Community Voice
The Community Voice is all about amplifying the voices of the movement. Here you will find articles that inspire and encourage you to become an advocate and stories from our community. Through our submission form, you can submit articles about events and issues important to the mission of CHD or stories about the human impacts of your advocacy work.
Tell us about your “wake up” moment. Describe the beautiful world you want to build for your children and future generations. Tell others about the struggles of swimming upstream when you’ve built a life founded upon “going with the flow,” or simply share your most memorable moment from a rally you attended at your state Capitol.
