Effective Advocacy Resources

Print Bookmark and Share

Effective advocacy requires knowledge about the various legislative and regulatory processes, as well as how to work with the media, and build strong coalitions. The Toolkit provides specific information for advocates on how to work together to promote excellence in early childhood education. NOTE: Most advocates work with or for 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations which have legal limits on what they can and cannot do with regard to the separate activities of (1) lobbying and (2) political activities. A legal memo called Do's and Don'ts for 501 (c)(3)'s should be read by everyone who engages in advocacy efforts at any level.
