From Story to Action: How Policy Works and Where Advocates Fit

Have you begun your advocacy journey and want to know more about how public policy is developed? Are you an experienced advocate wanting to get more knowledge about the policy-making process? Maybe you’d simply like to learn where you can make the most impact with lawmakers. If so, we invite you to join us for the second part of our two-part webinar series on advocacy and policymaking!

Building on part one, “Your Voice Matters: Advocacy Basics For the Bleeding Disorders Community,” this webinar will take the next step in understanding how policy decisions happen, what the process for a bill to become a law looks like, and where advocacy makes the most difference.

• Learn about the differences between local, state, and federal policy
• Demystify government processes and explore how lawmakers create public policy
• Help you understand how you can be most influential in the legislative process and make your voice heard
• Review ways to make a clear ask to lawmakers and policymakers using HFA’s Five Pillars of Public Policy
• Explore how you can continue staying engaged with the Bleeding Disorders Advocacy Network at HFA.
