Tips for Sharing your Story

~ Probe challenging questions until you get answers.
Find out about what happened, what didn't, and why.
Record your results, and discuss them with your team
and with colleagues from other organizations. Next
time you face a similar situation in a future
advocacy campaign, you will be in a much stronger
position.

~ The more open you are in sharing your successes
and failures with others, the more other groups will
be prone to do the same. It could be a win-win
situation. Take the lead!

~ Solicit stories from your constituents. People 
like to be asked for their opinion, and many of them
will be willing to share their photos, videos and
stories with you. This is precious evaluation
material that you don't have to collect yourself.
