Day 6: Advocacy
Read. Reflect. Take Action.
Reflection (5 minutes)
Before beginning today's reading, reflect on these questions:
- What does advocacy mean to me?
- How can I use what I have learned about allyship to build on my understanding of advocacy?
- Do I consider myself to be an advocate? If so, who am I an advocate for? How do I demonstrate my support?
