Join Health Equity Solutions (HES) for a 75-minute interactive workshop to explore what advocacy is, how it can used as a tool for change, who is an advocate (hint: you!) and when to advocate. We will also discuss how to find your state and U.S. representatives, discuss different ways our elected officials can help us resolve issues and briefly demonstrate key areas of the CT General Assembly website.
