Advocacy Toolbox Addition — Social media for advocates

Social media has become an important tool for advocates. It can be a powerful way to connect with other people advocating on your issue and with elected officials. But it can be overwhelming, and a bit scary. We’ve added a new page to the CT Health Advocacy ToolBox distilling best practices for busy advocates to be effective and how to handle problems.

We also added a page of excellent advice from Kathy Flaherty of Connecticut Legal Rights Project, an exceptional advocate and Twitter maven. Highly recommended.

The Toolbox is updated monthly. Check back often for additions and other improvements.

If you have ideas for further updates or find problems, let us know.
