Civic Engagement Toolbox for Self-Advocates

From the Autistic Self-Advocacy Network (ASAH), this series of plain language toolkits focus on the basics of civic engagement. Civic engagement means actively participating in our democracy. The entire toolkit series is available at:

The toolkit is They Work For Us: A Self-Advocate’s Guide to Getting Through to your Elected Officials. This toolkit is about who our elected officials are, and what strategies self-advocates can use to get our voices heard by the people we elect to represent us. The toolkit covers: who our elected officials are; how to contact your elected officials; strategies, scripts, and templates to help you effectively communicate with your elected officials; and how to use social media for political advocacy.
