Ep. 10: When Advocacy Goes Wrong (feat. Katie Belanger)

Previous Episode: Ep. 9: Fundraising for Advocacy (feat. Joe Sangirardi)

Next Episode: Ep. 11: Lobbying for Advocacy (feat. Courtney Snowden)

Advocacy work often means dealing with sensitive or personal issues for vulnerable communities on a daily basis. That’s why we need to be extra cautious that we’re doing advocacy right, and not inadvertently causing extra burdens or difficulties to arise for the very communities we’re fighting for. Tune in to learn how to know whether your advocacy is going in the right or wrong direction, and what you can do to recover if you’ve gone off the rails. Joe and Martín also dispel some myths about advocacy that might be pushing you in the wrong direction and they explain how planning and goal setting can keep you from going off track in the first place. Martín chats with Katie Belanger, an advocacy pro who will discuss the importance of recognizing your biases and how your advocacy should be upsetting people (the right way).
