Advocacy
As a leading community impact organization, United Way of Passaic County (UWPC)
knows that real and sustained change in community conditions requires more than money. That
is why UWPC is working in concert with United Way of America in engaging decision-makers
and policy leaders at the local, state and national levels to help address the most important
community needs.
At United Way, our goal is to advance the common good through the promotion of quality
education, stable income, and good health for everyone. Join us in advancing the common
good by advocating for issues important to you and your community!
Listed below are just a few of the issues and legislation United Way is championing in the
110th Session of the United States Congress.
Education
Support the Education Begins at Home Act [S. 667-H.R. 2343]

· Support the Family Tax Relief Act of 2008 [S. 3079]
Health

Anyone can champion the cause. Whether you’re speaking out to improve education,
