Act! Speak! Build! Week resources

Suggested activities and events
You can help more people have a safe place to live by telling others about how important a home is and what Habitat is doing. The ideas can help!

  • Host an advocacy event
    Organizing an advocacy event in your community.
  • Make it real!
    Create a visual representation
    of a current poverty statistic. A bulletin board at school or a display at church can help make others think about how many people need help and how important a home is.
  • Put a face to advocacy
    Be a part of our Habitat’s Flickr photo petition and tell the president “It all starts at home.”
  • Provide handouts
    Looking for a way to explain important advocacy issues simply? Use the Secure Tenure 101 and Housing Trust Funds 101 handouts.
  • Have a Paper House campaign
    Advocate for an end to poverty housing using the Paper House campaign.
  • Find more activities
    You can find more activities in the Advocacy Toolkit.
