JWW will not take positions to oppose or support local, state, or federal legislation or formal executive actions, such as proposal or adoption of regulations or executive orders.
JWW may highlight and promote positive local projects and programs but may not publicly oppose them.
JWW may educate public officials and decision makers about the purpose and goals of JWW, including identified best practices in the field.
JWW committees may make recommendations to state, federal or local governments that would advance best practices or the JWW goals. These recommendations may or may not be related to a specific legislative/executive action but may not include going on record supporting or opposing such action.
When federal, state, or local legislative or executive action pertaining to the JWW goals are under active discussion/consideration, JWW staff and steering committee members may alert the membership.
- a) Any alerts posted by staff will be neutral, not suggesting any particular position.
- b) Members can then take action in their own name, not as JWW.
- c Members and committees are encouraged to identify these opportunities and submit them to staff for inclusion in the weekly/bi-weekly updates.
- d) JWW members may share their own advocacy positions with other members in response to the announcement.
- e) When any such communications do not pertain to the JWW goals, staff will notify the membership and remove the posting
