Advocacy
WEBINAR – How Your Story Makes an Impact | Changemaker Series
One important way to advocate for trails, walking and biking, is to effectively tell decision makers how and why trails, walking and biking matter to you and your community. Storytelling is a vital piece of advocacy, and we want to empower you, RTC’s Changemakers for Trails, to share your stories in ways that resonate with decision makers.
