Grassroots Organizing and Advocacy

Grassroots advocacy is essential to the effective functioning of democracy. It consists of encouraging individual constituents to become engaged in the legislative process by actively expressing their concerns through letter writing and direct appeals to policymakers. A well coordinated grassroots advocacy campaign can be very effective in influencing public policy.
