ABE Advocacy Week Toolkit
This year, in lieu of Day on the Hill, we’re encouraging programs to connect with their legislators locally. Our Advocacy Toolkit includes resources to help you schedule meetings, support students in writing letters, and share your advocacy using ready-made social media graphics. Participants can be entered into a drawing to win t-shirts for their entire class!
