About
Ready to take action on climate change? This brief introduction to modern advocacy is just what you need to get started. Produced and presented by SPEAK at the University of Texas at Arlington, this course was originally aimed at social workers and political advocates. Here at We Sign On, we find this course to provide the perfect foundation for our style of informed, respectful, truthful, and impactful advocacy. Here is the description provided by SPEAK on their original YouTube program: The popular image of an activist is superhuman, someone who is in the streets one day, and the capital the next, constantly speaking truth to power. This is a very intimidating image. Fortunately, it does not take a superhuman to make a difference, you simply need the right set of tools. At SPEAK, we are committed to giving you the tools you need to feel effective as an ally and an advocate. We’ve demystified the digital environment to pull out the tools and practices you need to begin your advocacy journey with our Digital Advocacy Training! Digital Advocacy is a FREE training that will help you use the digital space to your advantage. In this section of the course, "Joining Online Advocacy Groups", we will learn about the different types of advocacy organizations, we will discuss what it means to belong to an online advocacy group, and we will learn about the benefits of belonging to an online advocacy group!
