When we write a letter from the National PTA to United States Senators or Representatives about a piece of federal legislation, we start the letter by reminding them that our members are their constituents and that we are the oldest and largest child advocacy organization in the nation. All politics are local because they are based on fact that the grassroots organizations communicate with those who make decisions, policies, and laws. There are many other activities that can be included in the spectrum of child advocacy efforts. The whole organization working together within the framework of the Strategic Plan is important. That section defines advocacy very clearly.
Advocacy is a spectrum of activities based on concern for our children and all children.
Advocacy is focused persuasion.
