Advocacy is the process of taking things into our own hands—of working to make a change so that good triumphs over bad, injustice gives way to fairness and honesty, and so that policies and situations are improved and people treated fairly in the exchange.
Advocacy for Change is a primer on the basics of advocacy so that readers will learn how to speak up for and fight for their interests. Topics covered in the manual include:
- Types of Advocates
- Understanding Change
- Understanding Power
- Basic Principles of Advocacy
- Collective Advocacy: Organizing Others
- Taking it to the Streets
