Advocacy Resources

Practical tools for building support, engaging decision makers, strengthening partnerships, and organizing local action.

Build Support and Move Ideas Forward

Advocacy often begins with a conversation, a shared concern, or a local champion willing to help move an idea forward.

These resources are designed to help Kentucky residents, community leaders, volunteers, and advocates build support for safer, more connected places to walk, bike, roll, and move. Use them to identify champions, prepare for conversations, engage decision makers, and organize practical next steps.
