Juliet and Voices for Children policy coordinator Katie Nungesser dive into one of our advocacy pillars—economic stability. Listen in as Katie shares her experience navigating poverty as a single mom, how it has influenced her career path and work with Voices, and ways you can get involved with current bills at the Nebraska state legislature that will help families make ends meet.
Welcome to the very first episode of Raising Justice! In this inaugural episode, meet Juliet Summers, Executive Director of Voices for Children in Nebraska, and Anahí Salazar, Policy Coordinator. Juliet and Anahí share their personal journeys—how a former public defender and a former public school teacher came together to advocate for children across Nebraska. They dive into what drives their passion for this work and outline the critical issues Voices for Children will champion in the 109th Nebraska Legislative session. From tackling child hunger through expanded access to universal school meals to advocating for transformative changes in juvenile justice, Juliet and Anahí set the stage for the vital advocacy efforts ahead. Join us as we kick off Raising Justice and explore how we can build a Nebraska where every child has the opportunity to thrive. Listen now and raise your voice for Nebraska’s kids!
