Advocacy Tools and Tips

What is Advocacy?

Advocacy is something that we are all familiar with.  Even if you do not know it, you advocate for things on a daily basis.  You convince your co-workers where to go for lunch.  You persuade your child to try something new at the dinner table.  Many conversations that take place between two people have a lot of things in common with advocacy.  What it comes down to is talking someone else into doing something for you. 

Advocates have issues that they are passionate about.  They see problems in the world around them that they want changed.  Everything that is done to make those changes happen is some form of advocacy.  Each of the topics below will take you to a specific page on one of a variety of different aspects of advocacy.
