South Carolina's Children Need Your Voice

Are you ready to speak up for South Carolina's kids? The Joint Citizens and Legislative Committee on Children is hitting the road, going from Conway to Columbia to Spartanburg and beyond, seeking your ideas and concerns about how to make life better for our state's children. What issues keep you up at night when it comes to the well-being of young South Carolinians? Is it the foster care system? Lack of access to mental health services? Childhood poverty? The committee wants to hear from you, so don't hold back.

Your input matters because this bipartisan group of lawmakers and community leaders has real power to shape policy. Past feedback from these hearings has led to new laws around adoption, vaping regulations, paid family leave for state employees - and that's just scratching the surface. So here's your chance to speak directly to those who can make a difference. Sign up ahead of time or just show up ready to share what's on your mind. The committee is eager to hear all perspectives. But remember, even if you don't have kids yourself, this still affects you. Those broken children grow up to be adults with challenges that ripple through our whole society. We can't afford to ignore the struggles of South Carolina's young people. So grab a seat at one of these meetings and make your voice heard. Your ideas could be the spark that leads to real that leads to real change
