Join the Advocacy Institute in collaboration with Rise for a training on the basics of political advocacy. In this training, we will discuss why it is important for you to make your voice heard and work with elected officials to address issues affecting your communities. Working with the government can be intimidating and systems of governance can be very complicated; this training will begin to demystify government processes and address why and how you should begin advocacy.

We’ll cover:

• How marginalized communities have been excluded from government and advocacy spaces and how you can work to address this inequity
• How to align your advocacy with government processes and timelines
• How to prepare yourself to effectively work with elected officials
• Why working together in coalition with others is an effective strategy for advocacy

All are welcome. Please note: This training will focus on NYC government.
