ADVOCACY ACTION #2: TO SUPPORT LIBRARIES

Elections are changing. Change with them.

Elections are changing Regardless of how many paid television and radio ads are blasting out, person-to-person and word-of-mouth advocacy are key in these times of mail-in ballots and drop-by voting locations. In regard to ballot issues 60, 61, and 101, try these simple techniques to make others aware of the potential impact on libraries and other agencies.
· Write postcards to your friends and acquaintances with a SHORT message.
· Ask if you can speak briefly about the issue at meetings you attend.
· Copy and bring a stack of flyers to meetings or other suitable locations.
· Add a few words about your position to the recorded message on your telephone.
