Advocacy

Study and Consensus: Members identify issues, examine all aspects, and reach a consensus to form a position, which is essential for action.

Adoption of Positions: Positions on issues (e.g., representative government, natural resources) are adopted at national, state, or local levels.

• Lobbying: Supporting or opposing specific legislation.

• Public Education: Using forums, panels, and media to inform the public.

• Coalition Work: Collaborating with other organizations.

• Monitoring: Observing government activities and elections
