Be a Puget Sound Advocate with People For Puget Sound

Be part of an elite team of grass roots advocates for Puget Sound.  Puget Sound Advocates will be asked to participate in a one day Sound Educators Advocacy Training session (usually in March of the year).  Advocates commit to meeting for two hours once a week to reach out to other activists (by phone) in targeted legislative districts and ask them to take a needed action.  People For Puget Sound will provide weekly training on each particular legislative bill or issue.  This is a way to leverage and enhance the work of People For Puget Sound lobbyists and increase opportunities for Puget Sound protection.
