Conservation Advocacy
Legislation comes from ideas.
Advocacy is the promotion of ideas into laws.
When you advocate for the environment, you are trying to persuade members of the Virginia legislature or the US House of Representatives or Senate to pass legislation favorable to our collective conservation goals. Sometimes, you will advocate to defeat or repeal legislation unfavorable to our cause.
It's that simple.
