Advocacy is a public support for a specific cause.
One way to be an advocate is to write an advocacy letter.
Your letter can be written to anyone that can make a change, from your school principal to a local official or even the president.
Here's one example.
[letter rustling] "Dear Assembly Member, I'm respectfully requesting that John Jay Playground open an hour earlier.
This would be a great option for families in which parents have to arrive early for work.
This might be the only opportunity in the day to take their kids to the park.
Thank you for your consideration.
From Evie."
Letters are important because if you don't express your views, people might not know a specific opinion exists.
One person can make a change and one voice can start a movement.
