Public health advocacy refers to educating, organizing, and mobilizing for systems change in population health among legislators and the general public. When it comes to public health, advocacy is an important component of addressing community issues and aligning public policy to address the need.
What you can do:
There are many things that anyone can do to advocate for public policy such as:
- Remote Sign-In & Submit Written Testimony
- Call or Email Your Legislators
- Testify In-Person at Public Hearings
- Spread Your Message in Letters to the Editor, OpEds or Social Media
We encourage you to sign-up for action alerts for topics that interest you on New Futures' website here
- Attend a webinar or in-person Advocacy Workshop (sign up for our upcoming, in-person workshop with SCPHN & New Futures on April 15th!)
- Attend events like our Legislative Breakfast and others with community organizations in the area who advocate about topics important to you to connect with others & for more opportunities to get involved!
