Using the Web for Advocacy Purposes

This is an example of the ways in which the internet can be used to advocate for a particular policy position. Click on the "Toolkit" tab to see examples of effective talking points, letters to the editor, and op-ed pieces. For my Tuesday class, feel free to post opposing viewpoints on your own blog; your particular position on these issues isn't as important as some demonstration of your ability to use the web as an advocacy tool.
