top tips for effective advocacy

communicate effectively

Getting your message across effectively in a clear and persuasive way is core to advocacy. To help you structure the way you communicate with your Member of Parliament, write letters to the editor, op-eds, and social media posts, and even speak to your friends and family, we encourage you to use the EPIC model and impactful storytelling methods to make sure your voice is heard!

engage with your Member of Parliament

Your Member of Parliament (MP) is a key decision-maker who can help shape Canadian policy, budgets, and direction. Engaging with them is one of the most impactful actions you can take to get Canada to step up and help end extreme poverty. The best part? Your MP represents YOU and wants to hear your opinion!

se faire publier dans les médias

Most newspapers and magazines have an opinion page where readers can express their views on issues. These pages are frequently read and provide an excellent opportunity to promote your cause to a wide audience at no cost. Importantly, letters to the editor and op-eds in your local paper will be read by your Member of Parliament and other decision-makers and can greatly inform their decision-making!

exprimez-vous sur les médias sociaux

We encourage everyone who cares about ending extreme poverty to maximize the reach of their advocacy through social media Your online reactions and input can help significantly shift online discourse as people increasingly receive their news and views through these platforms. Using social media effectively for advocacy is an important skill.

succeed as a volunteer

Results volunteers are everyday citizens who take the time to get educated about the issues and then – with their own voice, and their own hearts – take action. As a volunteer you may be asked to push yourself outside of our comfort zone, but worry not! We offer you the support and training you need to feel informed, supported, inspired and confident.
