Advocacy
State and local advocacy case studies
When advocating for science at the state and local levels, it's helpful to use a grassroots-organizing approach to raise awareness and to address your issue. Community involvement can be achieved by educating, engaging and rallying the public.
These case studies provide examples of how ASBMB members have successfully engaged in advocacy at their local and state levels.
