Quick Tip: When you advocate, start with one concrete example that shows why the issue matters, then explain how this one example is part of a bigger pattern, not an isolated case, and then say your ask. People can remember stories longer than
statistics.

Thank you to the New Jersey Self Advocacy Project for sharing this important self-advocacy tip of the week. 🙏😃
