Dear John,

How do you really know if the actions that you’re taking as an advocate are actually adding up to change? That’s the big question lurking below the surface in conversations about effective advocacy.

In our new AdvocacyLabs report, we marshal the best experimental research of the past decade to help answer eight questions at the heart of long-standing debates among advocates in the field. 

Each chapter in this report opens with a specific question, moves on to experiments, delves into key lessons and closes with suggestions for further reading. The results challenge conventional wisdom and provide clarity often missing from advocacy how-to guides.

We hope this report will help you craft more powerful campaigns for the communities, families and students you serve.
