COSSA Releases Social Scientist Advocacy Guide
During these turbulent times, it is more important than ever that elected officials hear from their constituents. Members of the Congress were elected to represent the interests of you and your community; unfortunately, too few Americans utilize their right to engage with policymakers on the issues and concerns confronting their communities.
In-person engagement with lawmakers in Washington, DC is important, but it is just one tool in the advocacy toolkit. There are many actions you can take to affect federal policy without needing to travel to the nation’s capital. To this end, COSSA (Consortium of Social Science Associations) announces its newest resource, their At-Home Advocacy Guide!
This free resource contains information on how you can impact federal policy from anywhere by calling and emailing your Members of Congress, attending a Town Hall meeting in your community, or responding to organizational Action Alerts, among other activities.
If you do use this guide, COSSA would love to hear about your experience. Please feel free to share your advocacy efforts with them (wnaus@cossa.org).
