Take Action to Advocate for Change
Community-led advocacy is a key catalyst for system change.
When people come together to learn about the issues that affect their lives, identify changes they want to see, and take action to hold decision-makers accountable, the results can be powerful.
At Feed Nova Scotia, we recognize the importance of supporting community as leaders in advocacy and social change.
Whether you are beginning to explore ways you can advocate for change, or are experienced in mobilizing your community, we hope you will explore the resources below and find them helpful.
