What is your name? What are your roles? What do you care deeply about? What are your values (personal and shared)? Example: I am a single mother, teacher, artist and advocate and I care deeply about my child and all children and their right to a joyful childhood full of learning and opportunity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f594e0322445f5cef554411/1604963849885-QX0P2N89SS71GW2O3MH9/image.jpg Toolkit - What is your story? What challenges are you/your family facing? How are your children/family/community being affected? What do the challenges look & feel like? What key details or facts will help us understand? How does your personal story connect to our shared community story? Example: I have seen my child, my community and myself struggle through distance learning and face reduced hours of work due to COVID, which impacts our ability to provide for our families. I have been waiting 8 months to get my child into daycare so I can get back to work. Sometimes lately I feel like I can’t breathe, and I know it doesn’t have to be this way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f594e0322445f5cef554411/1604595130257-S74NLB7IHLUARDPRZ79X/image-asset.jpeg Toolkit - What is your call to action? What is your call to action for elected officials? What changes do you want to see? How can we co-create solutions together? Example: We urgently need to prioritize distance learning resources, childcare funding and economic relief packages to protect the wellbeing of all families and ensure our children can thrive. Can we count on you to work with us to create these solutions? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f594e0322445f5cef554411/1600812392298-8XFH7II99SV6VNSIDVIL/Screenshot+2020-09-21+at+13.40.08.png Toolkit - Practice on your Own Once you have thought through these questions, write down your ideas and take some time to synthesize your responses into just a a few sentences. Refining our thoughts can feel challenging because there is so much to every story, but the most impactful speeches are often concise and pack a strong punch. Read your final statement out loud to yourself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f594e0322445f5cef554411/1600812392298-8XFH7II99SV6VNSIDVIL/Screenshot+2020-09-21+at+13.40.08.png Toolkit - Practice with Peers Practicing your elevator speech in front of family or friends is a great way to ease yourself into public speaking. While giving your speech, practice making eye contact with your audience, articulating your words, and speaking with confidence - even though you will probably feel nervous. Ever heard the phrase “Fake it till you make it”? It works! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f594e0322445f5cef554411/1600812392298-8XFH7II99SV6VNSIDVIL/Screenshot+2020-09-21+at+13.40.08.png Toolkit - Learn by Doing The most powerful place to share your elevator speech is where it can be heard by our policy makers and other community leaders. Town hall meetings, city council meetings, school board meetings and legislative visits are just a few example of places where you can deliver your message. Remember: you don’t have to be fearless and perfect - just courageous and authentic. You are your child’s BEST advocate. https://www.ccecan.org/resources daily 0.75 2022-08-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f594e0322445f5cef554411/1604456387494-TSSA04H7CM1DBDND23SE/8441905-logo.png Resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f594e0322445f5cef554411/1604456525434-1K6SI4Q7HIVHHW4UOH2L/og-image.png Resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f594e0322445f5cef554411/1604456617092-VYXCA5YGP8STWSJCHK2Z/f5newlogolarger2.jpg Resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f594e0322445f5cef554411/1604456728187-BMJQJHXDU6DP6CDR8HBA/logo-new.png Resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f594e0322445f5cef554411/ad8b30c9-b7e6-4f3b-ba51-ffea2cd1ac05/BA-Logo-2%402x-700x125.png Resources - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f594e0322445f5cef554411/1604456445168-WR7XAEEWN6O63IPJERMT/CAWFC_Logo_Large_Web_copy.png Resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f594e0322445f5cef554411/1608050957544-C3CFE9Y10WNPBI03LF0M/Cal+Budget+%26+Policy+Center Resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f594e0322445f5cef554411/1634681555284-C9B0TYX8Q74UY8OXS83Z/kidango.png Resources - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f594e0322445f5cef554411/1604456774622-4LQBAOARNKYAHPV93LKJ/Blue-Logo-Only-01.png Resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f594e0322445f5cef554411/1604456570530-MNXJY0FA7QF1BXUXQ17M/logo-1.png Resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f594e0322445f5cef554411/1605046260294-O7Q2QV6WAQ4D3Z3O5SJM/PolicyLink+logo+lead.png Resources https://www.ccecan.org/policylearningcommunity daily 0.75 2023-04-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f594e0322445f5cef554411/1623704167114-CEHLOYJ5BKBKBB51D8AR/Screenshot+2021-06-14+at+13.30.29.png Parent Policy Cohort - Introducing the CCECAN Policy Learning Community In 2021, CCECAN established our first ever parent cohort of 8 Central Coast community leaders.
