What is Advocacy?
Advocacy is the act of educating in favor of something, such as your child, a cause, an idea, a policy, or a law.
There are 3 levels of parent advocacy:
Participation: Being present and starting relationships
Using your voice: Start to communicate your needs, desires, and dreams
Formal advocacy: Use the first two levels of advocacy and take action, usually using an official process
What to Expect
Advocacy Day has three parts:
Advocacy Training
You'll learn about the issues that the legislature is discussing and will be voting on. You'll also learn advocacy skills to use later in the day and later in life!
Rally on the Capitol steps!
Everyone meets on the Capitol steps to show our support for Early Learning! Parents and legislators speak to the crowd. Because early learning is so important, news stations and papers may cover the event.
Meet with your Legislators
With other parents from your community and legislative district, you'll meet with your legislators at the Capitol campus to share how early learning has supported your child, family, and community.
