Advocate – Speak up
Advocacy is about more than signing petitions or writing letters to elected officials. It’s about understanding the issues, lending your voice, championing a cause, and promoting them to your family, friends, neighbors, and community.
Promote your United Way
Speak up and stand strong as someone who knows how to LIVE UNITED. Wear the LIVE UNITED shirt proudly in your community. Place a link on your website back to ours. Find your United Way of the Big Bend on Facebook, follow us on Twitter and watch us on YouTube. Let your voice be heard and show the Big Bend what it means to LIVE UNITED.
Share your story
How do you LIVE UNITED? Inspire others by sharing your advocating experience. Send your story to roger@ubb.org so we can post it on the UWBB website and share it with the community. Have a video camera? Share your story on YouTube, and maybe we’ll link to it!
