Advocate

Advocacy is a key part of the action needed to help more people across the globe gain access to safe drinking water and adequate sanitation. You can get involved with advocacy efforts in your hometown; simply by letting more of your neighbors know the facts about the global water and sanitation crisis. Or you can take action by telling your elected officials that you care about this issue. Please use this resource from Roll Call to locate your representatives http://www.congress.org/congressorg/home/.

Please visit these websites to see what the latest advocacy needs are and to download advocacy materials. On these websites you will find fact sheets as well as sample letters to send to your representatives.
