Hey folks!

Here is what I have so far regarding the "Implementation and Advocating" phase of our group work. I'll bring my computer to our meeting tomorrow, if we need to put everything into one document.

Implementation and advocating

The process of advocacy while working with Interval House included the following:

Beforehand, part of the advocacy included contacting local politicians prior to the gala to find out if they would be attending or were interested in supporting Zonta International in some capacity. In speaking with them (or their secretaries), I was able to give them some information about Jared’s place, a branch of Interval House, and give them details about the event

At the gala, we presented guests with information about Jared’s place in order to persuade them to buy raffle tickets in support of Jared’s Place

Though we understand that using media can sometimes backfire, our mentor requested that we create a video to be played at the International Women’s Day gala, that drew attention to gender injustice worldwide. We feel that this method was very effective in portraying the necessary information, and proved to be a crucial to the implementation and advocacy processes

See you tomorrow, Thode B106 at 6pm!
