Ask them to demonstrate conservation leadership and endorse the recommendations
of Mr. Robert L. Graham, as outlined in his letter to Governor Minner on September 19, 2006.
Mr. Robert L. Graham was the Federal Aide Coordinator for the Delaware Division
of Fish and Wildlife for many years. He was one of the States most notable
conservationist, and very instrumental in the protection of thousands of acres
of open space for the enjoyment of the Citizens of Delaware. The Robert L. Graham
wildlife area in the Southwest Corner of Sussex County was named after Mr. Graham
in recognition of his conservation leadership.
This Community Advocacy Guide describes some of the basic elements of being a community activist - organizing, influencing decision-makers, media work, and message development - all from a community perspective. It will provide useful tips on how we SNCC residents can be more effective, as well as identify some of the common mistakes we sometimes make. It is hoped that this document will enhance our activity and experiences as advocates of our communities and our quality of life in SNCC.
