7. Be an Advocate
Don't let some offensive comment slide--speak up and take action. At a party, at work, even at a family gathering, inform others of your opinion. You'll be surprised at how often behavior can change when people are called on it. Remember, for most people "silence does equal consent."

8. Meet with your Elected Officials
There is nothing better then meeting face to face with your elected officials and informing them of your concerns. Make a yearly visit to Montgomery, and schedule meetings with your elective representatives.

9. Write letters to your Local Editors
Letters to the editor are great advocacy tools because they reach a large audience, are often monitored by elected officials, can bring up information not addressed in a news article, and create an impression of widespread support for or opposition to an issue. Here are some tips for writing great letters for publications.

10. Stay Positive
In advocacy, too often one can feel like "the lone voice in the wilderness". Know that your time and efforts will make for a better world--and for that, we thank you and urge you to keep fighting the good fight.
