Tips On Good Advocacy Practices Remember that you, as a citizen, have every right to present your views. Do not be timid or apologetic. If you are convinced of the rightness of your cause, and are informed about it, there is no reason for hesitation on your part.
Nobody needs more problems.
Concentrate on solutions , not problems. Describe not what is wrong, but what needs to be done in order to bring about improvements. Identify the person who has the power to make the changes that you want. Speaking to the bank teller, for instance, will not be as effective as speaking to the bank manager. Get them to make a personal commitment to carry out some particular action.
