Advocacy. 11.1. As part of our ongoing campaign to provide the highest possible standard of childcare and engage in an ongoing public campaign to explain the direct relationship between funding and the quality of care, it is in each party's best interest to provide reasonable opportunity for members of the bargaining unit to participate in these efforts.

The details regarding advocacy activities pertaining to a particular Association Center shall be contained within its Addendum.

Centers will also use this advocacy day to create awareness among parents, business, government and the community that childcare issues are not just the employees’ problem. Centers have the option to use a portion of the day for teacher in-service. The specific activities of the day may be flexible from year to year, depending on current political or community issues.
