Advocacy Tips
- Advocacy is a process and does not always lead to immediate results
- With advocacy even in small things, there may be barriers or setbacks along the way
- Just because you do not see immediate change does not mean it is not worth speaking up
- Advocacy can be done in many different ways but it requires thinking things through, and deciding how to advocate and when to advocate for a given issue
- People you need to advocate with may have different goals than you do
- It is also important to take care of yourself, understand your investment and the risks involved for you and others
