October 16, 2024 ~ Lucy Ann Lance talks with Kyle DuBuc, Vice President of Communications and Advocacy, United Way for Southeastern Michigan. United Way for Southeastern Michigan is committed to driving positive community change through effective policy advocacy. The organization supports policies at local, state, and federal levels that enhance household stability and children’s well-being. Vice President of Communications and Advocacy, Kyle Dubuc, emphasizes the dual approach of providing direct services and mobilizing community voices to influence legislative decisions. A significant achievement was increasing Michigan’s earned income tax credit, aiding low- and moderate-income workers. Engaging the community in advocacy has proven effective, especially with upcoming elections, to ensure legislators address their concerns.
