Free Online Advocacy Program

The Minnesota Council on Developmental Disabilities has designed a free advocacy tool to help make positive change, called "Making Your Case" for use by people with disabilities, family members, and concerned citizens.

By taking part in this free learning program, participants will be better able to:

· Effectively "tell their story" to policymakers;

· Identify which policymakers would be most helpful in bringing about positive change;

· Write effective letters and emails;

· Conduct productive meetings with policymakers;

· Give effective testimony and answers to questions; and
· Organize with others to address important issues.

The program can be accessed any time by going to URl: http://www.partnersinpolicymaking.com/makingyourcase
