Advocacy vs. activism…

Advocacy represents the strategies devised, actions taken and solutions proposed to influence decision-making on a particular cause/issue. The purpose being to create positive change for people and their environments.  Individuals, organizations, businesses and governments can all engage in advocacy activities.

Topics or activities should provide a non-partisan viewpoint, adhere to professional standards of your occupation, and focus on the health impacts of an issue.
