Implement & Defend

Once your policy has passed, celebrate, send out regular reminders and monitor compliance and threats.

Gaining Support

You may find it odd that policy advocacy is under community engagement and not in the policy circle. A policy is difficult to pass and enforce without engaging your community at every step of the process. The strength of a policy depends on the support from the community around it.

Note: This section fits nicely with the Raise Awareness section. The raising awareness section seeks to educate the public about the issue at hand, but this section covers advocating for a policy that will address the issue of concern.

Policy Passed?

Congratulations on your coalition's policy passing! It's time to celebrate publicly with the community.

But your work isn't over yet. Now that your policy has passed, your coalition needs to work at implementing and enforcing it in your community as well as defending it against opposition.
