Advocate

 

Advocacy is about being informed and being the voice at the forefront for what you believe in. 

The first step to being an advocate is to get informed, so you are prepared to stand up for what you believe in. Follow your local news, read newsletters from nonprofits and government agencies and listen to what community leaders, decision makers, and advocates have to say. If you want to create change, reach out and voice your opinion! Tell your representatives what you think and wear the LIVE UNITED shirt to show your support. You have the voice to inspire hope and to create opportunities for a better tomorrow. One person's voice can influence many and change the lives of those in the community. A community working together can raise awareness and create a brighter future.
