SNCCA Community Advocacy Guide Available


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.

The Guide is available online here.
