This webinar took place September 14, 2021.

Grassroots advocacy is changing the face of American politics and the direction of policy. Learn how stories, documentation, and outreach can be turned into action plans for preservation. Hear grassroots leaders share how they used unconventional tools and government funding to protect valuable community resources. Be inspired by their experiences to jump into action to advocate for your community. This skill building workshop is part of a series developed for the PastForward Online 2021 conference (savingplaces.org/conference). The series is free and open to all and compliments content in the conference program.
