Abstract
AbstractEvery day, there are advocacy efforts underway and leaders engaged in advocacy locally and nationally. Advocacy works in tandem with policy development and implementation. This chapter allows the reader to fully understand the ways informal advocacy is needed and the various settings where public health educators are involved. While informal advocacy is often the first step where a new professional practices their skills, they are then equipped to fully engage in advocacy endeavors at a more formal level. Everyday advocates are empowering others to speak to injustices in healthcare, shed light on health equity, or provide valid and reliable resources to individuals or organizations.
