Plan An Advocacy One-Pager

Worksheet Description

This worksheet serves as a structured template to guide individuals in organizing their thoughts and information for creating a succinct, one-page advocacy summary. The one-pager is intended to articulate a clear position or stance that the user or their organization wishes to advocate for. The worksheet provides several prompts, encouraging the user to detail the story they wish to narrate, substantiate their stance with facts and analyses, give necessary background information, identify their target audience, delineate their primary arguments, and validate the credibility of their statements.

By breaking down the process into specific segments, students are taught to think critically about each aspect of their advocacy, ensuring it is well-researched, relevant, and compelling. The worksheet underscores the importance of understanding one’s audience, tailoring the message accordingly, and ensuring its credibility. Essentially, students learn the art of creating a powerful one-page document that can have a significant impact, making it a valuable exercise for those aiming to influence opinion or advocate for a cause.
