Engage in Advocacy

You can influence public policy. Advocacy happens in many different ways, but at its core advocacy is about raising awareness, building and leveraging relationships, and educating others around the issues and policies that matter to you. Policymakers want to hear about the issues that concern their constituents the most and welcome your feedback.
