Advocacy

Meet an advocate 
who cares.

There are three ways to play — in person, live online, or on your own time. Pick the one that fits you, and let's start the conversation.

"Your voice matters — and we'll help you use it with confidence."

Three ways to play

Choose your way in.

Advocacy doesn't have to be formal. It can be a library chat, a video call, or a game you play on your phone. Every path leads to your voice being heard.

Reach out and start the conversation.

Tell us which way you want to play — an in-person event, a live Advocacy Hour, or the on-demand game — and we'll get you started. No pressure, no commitment, just support.

Advocacy is for everyone

You don't need to be in crisis to ask for help. Advocacy can be as simple as a single conversation, a second set of eyes on a form, or a partner in the room when it counts.
