Advocacy 101
ADVOCACY 101 Best Practices Toolkit Updated January 2017 Best Practices for Calling Your Legislator A few calls into an office over a short period of time can bring an issue to the attention of your legislator in a big way! When making a call remember the following tips: When connecting to a legislator’s office, let the staffer know that you are a constituent or community member and what issue or bill you are calling about. More than likely you’ll speak only with the staffer who will relay the message to your elected official. Keep it simple and brief. Staff receive a high volume of phone calls every day, so state your name, how you want your lawmaker to vote and why, and thank staffers for their time. Know your facts. Have the basic information about the bill in front of you when you call and be able to specifically name and describe the bill and your opinion on what your legislator should do. Don’t sweat the hypothetical unanswerable question. Some advocates worry that they will be asked a question they don’t know how to answer. Staffers typically focus on recording the message rather than asking for intricate details; however, if they do ask a question that you don’t know the answer to, tell them you’ll find out and call back. Just remember to follow up with the information! Be courteous and respectful – like your mama taught you. Best Practices for Writing Your Legislator Concise, well thought-out personal letters are one of the most effective and time-honored traditions of influencing South Carolina lawmakers.

For 53 years, South Carolina Republicans have gathered together each year to forget... celebrate our party’s conservative principles, as well as the donors and activists who help promote those principles in our government. While our Party has enjoyed increasing success in the years since our Elephant Club was formed, we always have to remember that no victories are ever perma- nent. They are dependent on our continuing to be faithful to do the fundamen- tals: communicating a clear conservative message that is relevant to voters, identifying and organizing fellow Republicans, and raising the money to make it all possible. As we gather this evening on the anniversary of the tragic terrorists attacks on our homeland in 2001, we’re reminded about what’s at stake in our elections this year - the protection of our families, our homes, our property, our borders and our fundamental values. This year’s election offers us an incredible opportunity to continue to expand our Party.

2010 Arts Advocacy Handbook
2010 ARTS ADVOCACY HANDBOOK Celebrating 30 Years of Service to the Arts January 2010 Dear Arts Leader: As we celebrate our 30th year of service to the arts, we know that “Art Works in South Carolina” – in our classrooms and in our communities. We also know that effective advocacy must take place every day! And there has never been a more important time to advocate for the arts than NOW. With drastic funding reductions to the South Carolina Arts Commission and arts education programs within the S. C. Department of Education, state arts funding has never been more in jeopardy. On February 2nd, the South Carolina Arts Alliance will host Arts Advocacy Day – a special opportunity to celebrate the arts – to gather with colleagues and legislators – and to express support for state funding of the arts and arts education! Meet us at the Statehouse, 1st floor lobby (enter at the Sumter Street side) by 11:30 AM, to pick up one of our ART WORKS IN SOUTH CAROLINA “hard-hats” and advocacy buttons to wear. If you already have a hat or button, please bring them! We’ll greet Legislators as they arrive on the 1st floor and 2nd floors. From the chamber galleries, you can view the arts being recognized on the House and Senate floors. You may want to “call out” your legislator to let him or her know you are at the Statehouse and plan to attend the Legislative Appreciation Luncheon. Then join arts leaders and legislators at the Legislative Appreciation Luncheon honoring the Legislative Arts Caucus.
