This month let’s talk about the legislative processes used in most states, provinces, and at the federal level. If you’ve ever seen the movie Mr. Smith Goes to Washington starring...
What does Advocacy mean to you? Oxford defines it as “public support for or recommendation of a particular cause or policy”. This is at the heart of why your government...
