Public policy advocacy can also happen in everyday spaces and conversations.

  • Talking with people you know about legislative bills proposed in the legislature can help raise awareness and build understanding.
  • You can encourage others to contact their senators or learn more about an issue.
  • If it feels safe, you may choose to share information or your perspective on social media.
  • Some people choose to engage with the media to share their perspectives, though it is important to understand that media coverage may include only a small portion of what is shared.

Taking Care of Yourself

If you decide to engage in public policy, it’s also important to consider how to take care of yourself before, during, and after. Thinking ahead about what support you may want can help you care for yourself throughout the process.
