For many, advocacy seems like confrontational, time-intensive work, or even a contact sport. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E113\" class=\"qowt-stl-NormalWeb\"><span id=\"E114\" class=\"qowt-font1-Calibri\">Kristen Grimm<\/span><span id=\"E115\" class=\"qowt-font1-Calibri\">, who<\/span><span id=\"E116\" class=\"qowt-font1-Calibri\"> has helped hundreds of nonprofits and foundations develop winning social change campaigns through her company <\/span><a id=\"E117\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spitfirestrategies.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span id=\"E118\" class=\"qowt-font1-Calibri qowt-stl-Hyperlink\">Spitfire Strategies<\/span><\/a><span id=\"E119\" class=\"qowt-font1-Calibri\">, has a different idea of advocacy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E121\" class=\"qowt-stl-NormalWeb\"><span id=\"E122\" class=\"qowt-font1-Calibri\">Grimm is <\/span><span id=\"E123\" class=\"qowt-font1-Calibri\">the opening keynote speaker for the <a href=\"https:\/\/summit.firstthingsfirst.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">First Things Firs<\/a><\/span><span id=\"E124\" class=\"qowt-font1-Calibri\">t Early Childhood Summit 2019 in August. She<\/span><span id=\"E125\" class=\"qowt-font1-Calibri\"> sat down with First Things First to share <\/span><span id=\"E126\" class=\"qowt-font1-Calibri\">her ideas about advocacy and how creating social change can be empowering and rewarding for so many people, including early childhood supporters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/summit.firstthingsfirst.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22940\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ftf-stg.magnetry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/unnamed.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"565\" height=\"202\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"qowt-stl-NormalWeb\"><strong style=\"color: #444444;\"><span id=\"E129\">Is being an advocate in 2019 an effective way to create change when there are so many competing causes? Can you really get your voice heard?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"E132\" class=\"qowt-stl-ListParagraph\"><span id=\"E133\">Advocacy is one of the most effective ways to create social change. Democracy relies on people standing up for what they believe in and taking action. Elected leaders make decisions partly on what they hear from people online, in letters, at town halls and in everyday places like the grocery store. Even a seemingly unilateral decision, like Dwight Eisenhower integrating the armed forces, can occur because someone advocated for it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E135\" class=\"qowt-stl-ListParagraph\"><span id=\"E136\">Advocacy shouldn\u2019t be a separate activity, but an extension of what you would do anyway. For example, if a business leader cares deeply about building an inclusive, prosperous community, she has many forums to talk about it. She should talk about job training and education to the local Chamber of Commerce meeting, PTA or start-up incubator. People have standing and influence in places they might not expect\u2014and their voice will matter on the issue. Advocating from a well-established position, be that as a parent, a volunteer sports coach or an entrepreneur, lends credibility and trust to your argument. These things are in short supply today and they help cut through the noise out there.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"E139\" class=\"qowt-li-0_0 qowt-list qowt-stl-ListParagraph\"><span id=\"E140\">What does effective advocacy look like?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"E141\" class=\"qowt-stl-ListParagraph\"><span id=\"E142\">First, it\u2019s important to understand and define your role as an advocate. Advocacy <\/span><span id=\"E143\">happens in<\/span><span id=\"E144\"> a lot of different ways, <\/span><span id=\"E145\">from <\/span><span id=\"E146\">going to <\/span><span id=\"E147\">Capitol Hill<\/span><span id=\"E148\"> <\/span><span id=\"E149\">to<\/span><span id=\"E150\"> knocking on doors. <\/span><span id=\"E151\">It might also mean<\/span><span id=\"E152\"> connecting people, <\/span><span id=\"E153\">opening doors<\/span><span id=\"E154\"> or <\/span><span id=\"E155\">starting critical conversations<\/span><span id=\"E156\">. <\/span><span id=\"E157\">There is no one type of advocate.<\/span><span id=\"E158\"> <\/span><span id=\"E159\">The most effective advocates speak from an \u201cI\u201d space. I have seen \u2026 I know the power of \u2026 I know together we can. Focus on being authentic and not pretending. This brings me to my second point. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E161\" class=\"qowt-stl-ListParagraph\"><span id=\"E162\">Get your story straight, so people understand your intentions and where you are coming from. When you tell the story of how you came to an issue, why you think we should all get involved and why now is the time to act, you\u2019ve taken an important first step toward mobilizing people. Here is the <\/span><a id=\"E163\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ted.com\/talks\/clint_smith_the_danger_of_silence?language=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span id=\"E164\" class=\"qowt-stl-Hyperlink\">teacher Clint Smith<\/span><\/a><span id=\"E165\"> explaining why he is going to speak up as a model for his students. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"qowt-stl-ListParagraph\"><span id=\"E168\">Third, aim for conversations before conversions. Advocacy is about being motivational, not confrontational. <\/span><span id=\"E169\">When you engage with other people<\/span><span id=\"E170\">, let them explore the topic for themselves <\/span><span id=\"E171\">and <\/span><span id=\"E172\">consider<\/span><span id=\"E174\"> <\/span><span id=\"E175\">new <\/span><span id=\"E176\">possibilities. <\/span><span id=\"E177\">You<\/span><span id=\"E178\"> want to create a safe place where this can happen<\/span>. Have you ever said, \u201cAfter that person condescended to me and yelled at me, I really came to understand their point of view?\u201d <span id=\"E181\">Of course<\/span><span id=\"E182\">,<\/span><span id=\"E185\"> not.<\/span><span id=\"E187\"> Effective<\/span><span id=\"E188\"> advocacy <\/span><span id=\"E189\">isn\u2019t about<\/span><span id=\"E190\"> having the answ<\/span><span id=\"E191\">er and convincing others you are right;<\/span><span id=\"E192\"> it\u2019s about generating conversations<\/span><span id=\"E193\">, finding common ground and coming to an answer together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E195\" class=\"qowt-stl-ListParagraph\"><span id=\"E196\">Last, be ready for pushback and don\u2019t let it stop you<\/span><span id=\"E197\"> There are a lot of trolls out there. You might be talking about standards for early education and people will get on social media <\/span><span id=\"E198\">and call you names or question your integrity<\/span><span id=\"E199\">. <\/span><span id=\"E200\">Let their<\/span><span id=\"E201\"> attacks roll off your back. They don\u2019t really know you, <\/span><span id=\"E202\">so don\u2019t take it personally<\/span><span id=\"E203\">. You know what you want to do and <\/span><span id=\"E204\">what <\/span><span id=\"E205\">your priorities <\/span><span id=\"E206\">are. G<\/span><span id=\"E207\">o about <\/span><span id=\"E208\">advocating<\/span><span id=\"E209\"> in a<\/span><span id=\"E210\"> <\/span><span id=\"E211\">respectful way and have the courage to be engaged in <\/span><span id=\"E212\">what you care about<\/span><span id=\"E213\">. <\/span><span id=\"E214\">Your conscience is a powerful force. Use it to guide you. Martin Luther King Jr <\/span><span id=\"E215\">said, \u201c<\/span><span id=\"E216\" class=\"qowt-stl-ilfuvd\">In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the <\/span><span id=\"E217\" class=\"qowt-stl-ilfuvd\">silence<\/span><span id=\"E218\" class=\"qowt-stl-ilfuvd\"> of our <\/span><span id=\"E219\" class=\"qowt-stl-ilfuvd\">friends.\u201d Don\u2019t let anyone silence you once you\u2019ve chosen to stand for something. Silence is a choice, just like advocating is a choice. Consider what your silence means and how it is interpreted.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"E221\" class=\"qowt-li-0_0 qowt-list qowt-stl-ListParagraph\"><strong><span id=\"E222\">Can you give an example of specific change you\u2019ve witnessed through effective advocacy?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p id=\"E223\"><span id=\"E224\">A great example is <\/span><a id=\"E225\" href=\"https:\/\/georgiaorganics.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span id=\"E226\" class=\"qowt-stl-Hyperlink\">Georgia Organics<\/span><\/a><span id=\"E227\">, based in Atlanta. <\/span><span id=\"E228\">It<\/span><span id=\"E229\"> wanted to get more local and organic food in<\/span><span id=\"E230\">to<\/span><span id=\"E231\"> the schools. <\/span><span id=\"E232\">Many<\/span><span id=\"E233\"> public schools were serving produce from far away<\/span><span id=\"E234\"> that was less healthy<\/span><span id=\"E235\">, which wasn\u2019t good for local farmers or<\/span><span id=\"E236\"> <\/span><span id=\"E237\">the kids<\/span><span id=\"E238\">.<\/span><span id=\"E239\"> <\/span><span id=\"E240\">Georgia Organics<\/span><span id=\"E241\"> created a 5 Million Meals Challenge to get more local food served to children. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E243\"><span id=\"E244\">This was smart for a few reasons. First, the organization set an ambitious goal that people could rally around. Second, it gave the people affected by this issue a voice. It tapped farmers, parents and kids to get involved\u2014to be advocates. It also made the decision makers, in this case, the nutrition directors, the heroes of the effort. Those who made a good decision were eligible for the Golden Radish, an <\/span><span id=\"E246\">award <\/span><span id=\"E247\">given<\/span><span id=\"E249\"> to local education agencies in Georgia who are doing extraordinary work in farm to school. <\/span><span id=\"E250\">By building pride into the campaign, Georgia Organics has districts trying to outdo one another on providing local, organic food to students. The campaign<\/span><span id=\"E251\"> caught on so quickly that <\/span><span id=\"E252\">it changed<\/span><span id=\"E253\"> its name to 5 Million Meals <\/span><span id=\"E254\">and <\/span><span id=\"E256\">Beyond<\/span><span id=\"E258\"> to keep it going. <\/span><span id=\"E259\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"E261\" class=\"qowt-li-0_0 qowt-list qowt-stl-ListParagraph\"><strong><span id=\"E262\">If someone is interested in becoming an advocate, what is the first step you would recommend? <\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p id=\"E263\"><span id=\"E264\">Start with an issue you are passionate about and in a position to influence. For example, <\/span><span id=\"E265\">\u201cI <\/span><span id=\"E266\">need to<\/span><span id=\"E267\"> get more local food served in my school.\u201d When you focus on <\/span><span id=\"E268\">your part of the world and use your position to <\/span><span id=\"E269\">make things better, <\/span><span id=\"E270\">you\u2019ll see the power you have. As you get more comfortable, you\u2019ll find there are many ways every day to use <\/span><span id=\"E271\">your voice and e<\/span><span id=\"E272\">xperience<\/span><span id=\"E273\"> <\/span><span id=\"E274\">on issues that matter to you<\/span><span id=\"E275\">. It\u2019s an empowering feeling. <\/span><span id=\"E276\">Then you can join with others and take on bigger decisions. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E278\"><span id=\"E279\">And it\u2019s usually necessary<\/span><span id=\"E280\"> to join forces with people who are different <\/span><span id=\"E281\">from<\/span><span id=\"E282\"> you to <\/span><span id=\"E283\">make the change you want<\/span><span id=\"E284\">. A<\/span><span id=\"E285\">t the end of the day, a<\/span><span id=\"E286\">dvocacy is problem solving. <\/span><span id=\"E287\">See<\/span><span id=\"E288\"> yourselves as problem solvers in <\/span><span id=\"E289\">y<\/span><span id=\"E290\">our community. <\/span><span id=\"E291\">But to problem solve effectively, you need to work with people who have different opinions and have different lived experiences. Find your common purpose, <\/span><span id=\"E293\">then<\/span><span id=\"E295\"> develop solutions that move the community forward. Change isn\u2019t easy, but it is necessary. Advocacy is about building relationships, working through tough challenges and having a deep well of optimism that we can figure anything out if we set our minds to it. When someone says change can\u2019t happen, be inspired by what James Baldwin said, \u201c<\/span><span id=\"E296\">Those who say it can<\/span><span id=\"E297\">\u2019<\/span><span id=\"E298\">t be done are usually interrupted by others doing it.<\/span><span id=\"E299\">\u201d<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kristen Grimm is the opening keynote speaker for the 2019 Summit.
