Advocacy is working with elected officials and campus administrators to influence policymaking. Students often don’t realize how loud their voices can be when they join together. Advocacy allows them to do this and see change happen as a result. Planning and participating in advocacy events is simple! Here are a few examples of what chapters have done:

• Hosting a letter-writing party to state senators
• Circulating petitions about cancer-related legislation
• Encouraging people to register to vote
• Meeting with campus officials to discuss the campus going smoke-free
