Advocacy Letter

Write an advocacy statement that express your view, supported by evidence, about a topic, usually to a politician or a political office, in order to promote a position.

Requirements for your advocacy letter:

Pick a public health issue you feel is not adequately addressed either locally, on a state level or on a national/international level. (Topic examples: gun control, vaccines in school, combating obesity, school lunches, food insecurity, access to healthcare, drug abuse, reproductive health, sex education, LGBTQIA+ issues in PH, etc.) No topic is off limits.

Then, research your topic so you can make fact based salient points in your advocacy statement.

Finally, craft a letter that both advocates your position and offers some actionable steps that can be taken to promote this issue and possibly change the current governmental intervention on this issue.

This letter should be NO MORE than 5 paragraphs. Use proper citation (either APA or MLA) for anything you cite in the letter. Provide a works cited page at the end of your letter.
