Offering incentives to those who commit to sharing their firsthand experiences can be a powerful tool. As a subscriber-based advocacy group, we’ve found that effective, non-trauma-based organizing starts before the need for advocacy arises. Building relationships with organizers, advocates, and problem-solvers in advance creates a strong advantage. Being prepared with outreach channels and established contacts is just as important as having agreements in place. The ideal time to plan is before there’s a reason to seek advocacy or problem-solving help. This means creating communication agreements with individuals and organizations that have clear policies for handling firsthand accounts. These agreements open the door to supporters ready to step in. The quicker a certified, productive response reaches the affected person, the better.
