Systems Change Advocacy
Systems Change Advocate
José Luis Barraza
Systems change advocacy addresses issues related to individuals with disabilities including, but not limited to: Housing, Transportation, Access, Employment, and Health.
Community leadership is developed by involving people with disabilities into action on issues effecting the disability community.
Keys to successful advocacy:
- Set up coalitions and groups that address the issues.
- Hold meetings with our legislators to educate them on the issues.
- Support public policies that benefit the disability community.
- Hold town hall meeting to get an assessment on an issue.
- Always have SELF-DETERMINATION to win!
