Advocacy

Support a cause or policy by exploring opportunities to join advocates, community leaders and passionate citizens as they make their case with legislators.

Get involved beyond Election Day and take action by advocating for issues you care about! 

Research the Issue: What kinds of issues do you care about most? Which issues are currently being considered at the official level? Check out reliable news sources, specific organizations you care about and trust, and political offices' websites to see when meetings will happen, when issues are discussed and when legislation will be voted on. Attend public meetings, such as city council meetings or town halls, to learn more about the issues and where your elected officials stand.
