Take Action
Advocacy
Advocacy is organised influence. When we advocate we seek to influence the attitude of others in planned and organised ways. Advocacy is working to motivate others to undertake action on a specific issue.
Advocacy can work in many ways, depending on personal and organisational skills, style, resources, audiences and of course the issue.
