The Nevada Minority Health and Equity Coalition (NMHEC) and School of Public Health invites faculty and staff to "Use Your Voice: Advocate to Change Your Community," presented by Amanda Haboush-Deloye, Executive Director of the Nevada Institute for Child Research & Policy and Valeria Gurr, Senior Fellow as the American Federation for Children.

Advocating can increase health equity in your community and make the voice of the community heard. Workshop attendees will learn how to communicate ideas and concerns to policymakers and how to engage them. This workshop will explore different forms of policy, Nevada’s state legislative process, and the differences between advocacy and lobbying. It will also build on participants' experiences to help them find what will work best to make change and mobilize their networks.

Workshop is on October 3 from 1:00-3:00 p.m. Attendees must register by October 2.
