Advocacy Messages

Challenging ourselves…… my blog focuses on two areas of concern Community and Safety!  The campaigns that I’m sharing are effective enough to cause us to  REFLECT AND ACT

1. Diversity & Inclusion

·         People of color = Latinos , African American  still sense that discrimination is a major problem.

·         Communities = LGBT feel they are still not accepted into the community.

The power message in this campaign is effective because it states something that is of great possibility

“The reason might be that we're actually discriminating unintentionally--some call this implicit bias.”

If our past influences form our behaviors (for however long that has been going on) then it may take that much long to work on acceptance of what we don’t understand or fear.

This campaign of ……. “The Diversity & Inclusion campaign encourages everyone to reconsider the biases that we don't even know we have.”  http://www.adcouncil.org/Our-Campaigns/Family-Community/Diversity-Inclusion

If we are up for the challenge … then it is consider effective!


2. Sexual Assault Prevention

Other assaults include; Bullying, dating and domestic assault prevention.

The campaign makes it very clear “it’s on us,  This campaign aims to raise awareness and inspire action against sexual assault in communities and on campuses nationwide. We are reframing sexual assault in a way that inspires everyone to see it as their responsibility, big or small, to prevent it.” http://www.adcouncil.org/Our-Campaigns/Safety/Sexual-Assault-Prevention#sthash.gtKWXhnH.dpuf

Take this paragraph and plug in any verb of assault … does it read the same?… yes! This message is effective enough for change because we all know of someone who has experienced this awful act (or is an overcomer of it)………..If we don’t stand for something we will fail in our greatest /finest  hour  for change.
