Public Policy Institute / Kids Speak Up! Alumni Grassroots Network

The Foundation's grassroots network, Speak Up, Speak Out!, is comprised of several thousand advocates across the country. These advocates receive regular email updates about legislative and regulatory issues that affect people with epilepsy. These updates include issue overviews, talking points and templates to contact legislators via email, fax and telephone.

Alumni of the Public Policy Institute and Kids Speak Up! program have gained extra knowledge and tools to continue the efforts that were successful during their time in Washington, D.C. For this reason, we have created a special list as part of the Speak Up, Speak Out network so that we can send you additional updates and other communications.

If you are already a member of Speak Up, Speak Out, simply visit the Speak Up Speak Out login page, then select the Public Policy Institute/Kids Speak Up! alumni checkbox on your subscription management page. (Be sure to select the Update button after you have checked the box!)

If you have not joined the Speak Up, Speak Out network, please visit the Join Our Grassroots Network page, then visit your subscription management page and follow the directions above.

Board of Directors Chairman Tony Coelho has promised to send a gift to thank each Kids Speak Up! kid for signing up to be an active advocate in our grassroots network. Watch your mail!
