Join us live for The STEM Talk Episode 5, "Advocacy Works!" on Wednesday, August 7, 2025, from 12:00-12:30 PM EST. We're going behind the scenes with three leading advocates who were directly involved in these efforts:

  • Anita Krishnamurthi from the Afterschool Alliance shares insights on coordinating cross-sector advocacy
  • Della Cronin from Bose Public Affairs Group breaks down legislative process strategies
  • James Brown from the STEM Education Coalition discusses coalition-building approaches

What you'll learn:

  • The timeline and tactics that influenced federal funding decisions
  • Strategies for building effective advocacy coalitions
  • How to prepare your organization for future policy challenges
  • Practical tools for sustainable advocacy engagement

This isn't theoretical—it's a practical guide based on real results from advocates who've been in the trenches. Plus, you'll be able to ask questions during the live Q&A!
