Advancing the common good

Advocate for a LIVE UNITED world. Be visible. Be loud. Be strong.

What does it mean to advocate? It is a power that we all have. It is what you believe in your heart. It is standing up for others who cannot stand up for themselves. It can be championing a cause. It can also mean simply not being silent. LIVING UNITED is finding your true voice and joining it with others. Change is possible. UNITED, we will be heard.

Anyone can champion the common good. It’s not just about helping one person at a time — it’s about changing systems and social conditions to help everyone.

Here are just a few things you can do…

• Speak out to improve community conditions
• Write letters to elected officials
• Learn about important social issues
• Wear your LIVE UNITED shirt to show support
• Place a link on your website back to ours.
• Add the cause to your Facebook profile.
• Post a video about how you LIVE UNITED on YouTube
• Promote Your United Way
