Advocacy is needed to help shape policies that directly impact our lives. This training series prepares ROC members to engage in state-level legislative advocacy efforts. It provides an overview of the N.H. state legislature and the power of sharing your personal stories. It also discusses when and how to get involved by participating in public hearings, reaching out to legislators, and using other effective advocacy strategies. After four weeks, participants will feel more empowered to take action and influence state policy-making decisions to improve the lives of those living in manufactured- housing communities.
