The Chicago Alliance launched its Advocacy Team with an Advocacy Training on April 18, 2008. The Advocacy Training brought together members of the Chicago Alliance’s Consumers Commission and Service Providers Commission. Fifty-five people attended the training and learned the “how-tos” of Advocacy; how to navigate the political process; how to effectively talk with their legislators; the power of telling their story and how to do it; and what they can do in their own agencies and communities to advocate for programs, policies and funding to end homelessness.
