Advocacy Basics
This training will primarily cover the basics of advocacy:
- an advocacy overview
- the attributes and impacts of faithful advocacy
- what faithful advocacy looks like in action
Storytelling
Additionally, we’ll be learning how at its core, faithful advocacy is storytelling, which is something people of faith already know how to do. You will learn the Earth Ministry/WAIPL’s faithful advocacy recipe and have an opportunity to practice sharing your story as it relates to one of our 2023 Legislative Priorities.
Faith Into Action
You do not have to be an environmental expert to participate. Your story, your faith, your concern for the wellbeing of our world is enough to begin working for environmental justice. So come and learn about how to put your faith into action for a just and sustainable future!
All Are Welcome!
