The Advocacy Toolkit
Call Script
Make phone calls that are calm, clear, and hard to ignore
A short script you can personalize in one minute, with a simple opener, a clear ask, and a respectful close so you do not freeze or ramble.
Email Template
Send messages that get read and routed to the right person
A plug and play email format with subject lines, a two paragraph structure, and a direct request that staff can act on quickly.
Meeting Prep Sheet
Walk into meetings prepared, not overwhelmed
A one page worksheet that helps you define your goal, pick your main points, assign roles, and end with a clear next step and thank you.
Story Framework
Share a personal story that moves hearts without losing the point
A simple structure that turns lived experience into public testimony with a beginning, one turning point, and a specific policy or community ask.
Follow-Up Tracker
Keep momentum with clean, consistent follow through
A lightweight tracking sheet for who you contacted, when, what they said, and what you will do next so advocacy does not disappear into a black hole.
