• Advocacy: the act of pleading for, supporting or recommending. EDUCATE– Have I ever advocated?
• Everyone is an advocate for something.
• Why advocate?– Good for our community– Well being for future generations– The more you advocate, the more you are recognized.– And who knows, you may have gained your royal position for a time
like this. (Esther 4:14)
Lobbying vs. Advocacy
• Lobbying: activities that ask legislators to take a specific position on a specific piece of legislation, or urge others to do the same (IRS definition for nonprofits).
• Advocacy: any activity that a person or organization undertakes to influence policy - includes educating, providing information, arguing a cause.
• (Most work happens before a bill is introduced)
• Grassroots vs. grass-tops advocacy– Grassroots: e-mail, letter, every-day citizen– Grass-tops: Relationship with the legislator or
opinion leader in the community– Am I resigned to one class?
• Build Partnerships– Policy change happens with like-minded causes– Prevention Professionals and Family Engagement
