Advocacy Toolkit

Welcome to True Colors United’s Advocacy Toolkit. Advocacy is one of the cornerstones of change as the power to call attention to an issue is often the first step in changemaking. Through our mission to end LGBTQ youth homelessness, we know that homelessness is a community issue. We’ve seen that community organizing and advocacy are powerful tools to leverage when moving toward a vision of homelessness prevention for LGBTQ youth. Advocacy is such a broad term and can be done in so many unique ways that it can be difficult to even know where to start or how to spread your message.

In this toolkit, you will learn an array of advocacy tools to get you started on your very own campaign of change. As you learn about how a bill becomes a law to digital advocacy techniques, we encourage you to think about your own communities and what change you want to bring about to better the lives of your friends, family, and all of your neighbors.
