Communications work, like lobbying or door knocking, involves strategy that can move public opinion about issues to accomplish a goal. These advocacy trainings will give you the resources you need to speak up about LGBT issues to move public opinion.

The advocacy trainings are free and open to the public. Early sign-up is advised since places are limited. Please RSVP today! For more information and to reserve your spot call GLAAD's Media Field Strategist Adam Bass at (213) 440-4728 or email mediastrategywc@glaad.org.
