Chair Lee questions MOIA advocacy with state Office of New Americans
Lee asks about advocacy with ONA and state leaders. Ali describes coordinating with ONA on the family preparedness phone bank and ongoing partnership to prevent service gaps. Lee then asks about Rapid Response Legal Collaborative service numbers.
I know, can you talk a little bit about some of the advocacy you've done with the Office of New Americans and the state leaders to advocate for some of the services and the funding for legal services specifically, but
anywhere you've done some of that advocacy?
Yeah, this is a priority that we're actively working to address.
I mentioned earlier, most recently, MOIA coordinated with ONA on our family preparedness phone bank, and we're going to continue to build on that partnership to really
identify and respond to whatever additional needs may arise.
I think for us, a priority is to make sure that we're preventing any sort of gaps in services that may arise and are looking forward to continuing that partnership with ONA.
Thank you for that.
