  • Advocacy Training Toolkit
    Advocacy Training Toolkit Advocacy Toolkit Overview The Advocacy Toolkit is designed to serve as a resource for building a structured approach for advocacy for the Early Learning Coalition of Duval. The Advocacy Toolkit provides a broadly accepted definition of advocacy and underscores ELC’s position and experience in advocacy. Advocacy is a very large topic. So, it is important to remember that this is just one set of tools, and there is not one particular method or approach that should be attributed to advocacy. The Toolkit is broken up into 5 different sections: 1. Advocacy Basics: What is advocacy and why is it important? 2. Legislative Process. 3. Conducting a successful meeting. 4. Best practices of advocacy. 5. Resources. Advocacy Basics What is Advocacy? Advocacy is building support for an issue among audiences such as the general public, elected officials, the media, and key opinion leaders. As child advocates, we work to ensure the children in our communities have a voice and their needs are met. We can do this by voting, talking to legislators about our concerns, speaking up at community meetings or writing letters and/or emails. Most important, advocacy is a frame of mind - not just a job title, occupation, or role in life. Advocates see opportunities where others see obstacles. Why is Advocacy Important? The goal of early childhood advocacy is to improve the lives of children and families by influencing legislators’ and policymakers’ opinions and activities. To carry out their responsibilities, public officials require and welcome the advice that well-informed people, like you, provide.

  • Important Information for the Upcoming Week
    Important Information for the Upcoming Week Hello, As the nation gears up for the Presidential Inauguration, our community, like other capital cities, is responding to the FBI's bulletin and taking necessary steps to ensure the safety of our citizenry. Leon County's Sheriff McNeil has been in close coordination with FDLE, TPD, the FBI, Capitol Police and other law enforcement partners to secure the resources we need, and just a few minutes ago, Governor DeSantis activated the Florida National Guard to protect the Capitol. Due to the risk of potential unrest, I encourage you to avoid, if possible, the Capitol Complex area from now through Inauguration Day. In order to keep you informed about other notable things going on this week, this newsletter contains some valuable information about MLK holiday closures and service changes, vaccination updates, free COVID-19 testing opportunities, etc. On a brighter note, the County Commission agendas for our 2021 Strategic Planning Retreat and January 26th meeting are now available. Among other items, we'll discuss the County's strategic plan, nominations for the Children's Services Council, and emergency rental assistance funding. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or suggestions about these two meetings. I'll be in touch again soon with another update but, in the meantime, enjoy the holiday weekend and stay safe. All the best, Rick Minor Chairman, Leon County Commission, District 3 [email protected] P.S. If you have friends and family who might be interested in receiving this newsletter each month, please ask them to sign up at www.LeonCountyFL.gov/RickMinor.
