advocacy. Write the steps of an advocacy plan. What are the tools of
advocacy?
Introduction
People advocate for a large number and variety of topics. Some of these are clear-
cut social issues that are universally agreed to be problematic and worth solving,
such as human trafficking. Advocacy can include many activities that a person or
organization undertakes including media campaigns, public speaking,
commissioning and publishing research. Lobbying (often by lobby groups) is a
form of advocacy where a direct approach is made to legislators on a specific issue
or specific piece of legislation.
Advocacy
Generally we can say that Advocacy is an activity by an individual or group that
aims to influence decisions within political, economic, and social systems and
institutions.
Ritu R. Sharma from the Academy for Educational Development describes
advocacy as a tool for “putting a problem on the agenda, providing a solution to
that problem and building support for acting on both the problem and the solution”.
[https://www.culturepartnership.eu/en/publishing/advocacy-course/what-is-
advocacy]
So Advocacy means taking action to create change.
Importance of advocacy
Advocacy includes many different types of activities. It has many importances. It
can mean researching new solutions, creating coalitions of like-minded people,
public campaigning to raise awareness and much more. The main importance of
advocacy is to create change. Given below some importance of advocacy:
To raise awareness

(HEPE) College And Youth Activism On Health Disparities And Social Determinan...antz505
Many youth leaders are compelled to do work with community based non-profit and local public health agencies as both a service learning and philanthropic component in their development as young professionals. However, despite invaluable experiential learning, students often don\'t comprehend key overarching issues such as health disparities, social determinants of health, health policy and community organizing. To address this gap and optimize their community based work, the Health Disparities Student Collaborative (HDSC), a Boston-based student group under Critical MASS for eliminating health disparities and the Center for Community Health Education Research and Service Inc. (CCHERS), developed a curriculum for students designed to broaden their perspectives while working with local public health, non-profit/community organizations and to develop their interest and ability to visualize the power of their collective voice as students and contributors to social justice work. The curriculum utilizes peer education and webinar software and covers three main topics: Current State of Health Disparities, Social Determinants of Health, and Youth Activism on Health Disparities/Social Determinants of Health. HDSC has collaborated with local partners CCHERS/Critical MASS and the Community Based Public Health Caucus (CBPHC) Youth Council to develop this comprehensive “Health Equality Peer Education” training.

involve?
Introduction
Media, which is the plural form of 'medium', are the forms of communication –
television and radio; newspapers, magazines, and written materials or "print
media", and, more often now, the Internet – used to spread or transmit information
from a source to the general public. Advocacy means openly supporting a certain
viewpoint or group of people. There are many ways and reasons to reach out to the
media, and advocates should use media advocacy as a means of influencing key
decision-makers.
Media advocacy
Generally we can say that Media advocacy is the strategic use of news making
through TV, radio and newspapers to promote public debate, and generate
community support for changes in community norms and policies.
According to Lori Fresina and Diane Pickles (2013) ‘Media advocacy is a way to
influence decision-makers through the media outlets that matter to them, such as
newspapers, radio, television, newsletters, journals, magazines, and even the newer
social media, like blogs, Facebook, and Twitter.’
[Retrieved from:https://www.communitycatalyst.org/doc-
store/publications/Media_Advocacy_Tools.pdf ]
So Media advocacy is the use of any form of media to help promote an
organization's or a company's objectives or goals, which come from the group's
vision and mission.

This document provides an overview of Module 4 of the Migrant Community Mediation Course. The module aims to teach participants how to choose effective messages and communication methods as a migrant community mediator. It covers crafting messages, the importance of aligning messages with policies, and effective communication tools. Examples are provided to inspire participants on forming empowering messages and using tools like events to engage audiences. Public meetings and briefings are discussed as event options, outlining best practices for planning successful online and in-person engagement. The overall goal is to equip participants with the skills to become informed voices in their communities.
Lack of empathy can be a barrier to migrant community mediation because without understanding the perspectives and experiences of migrants, host community members may not be supportive of mediation efforts or recognize the needs that mediation aims to address. With limited empathy, community members cannot fully understand migrants' pain, motives, or what they are feeling/experiencing, making it harder to gain cooperation or buy-in for mediation as a way to create solutions. Developing empathy for migrants' situations is important for breaking down barriers between communities.

The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 fundamentally altered the United States and the world. In response, the US adopted an aggressive policy of prevention aimed at incapacitating any potential threats, but this led the government to sacrifice civil liberties by targeting and detaining people based on speculation rather than evidence of wrongdoing. The Bush administration justified many of its counterterrorism policies, including the war in Iraq and domestic surveillance programs, on preventive grounds despite risks to core legal and ethical principles when using such a speculative predictive approach.

campaign, even if they are not immediately obvious.

Sometimes, it might be more effective not to approach decision makers directly.
Instead, think about whom they trust, whom they respect, and whom they are
going to listen to. Can you approach these people instead?
