Resources from the Adovcacy Live Stream Didactic
Apr 22, 2023
These are the links and resources I shared during Thursday's live stream lecture on getting involved in advocacy. I did not post a recording for premium member for security purposes, but you can find the slide deck with most of the slides in the QueerCME library if you are a paid subscriber. Please encourage others to subscribe. I need 301 more subscribers by the end of the year to continue creating new educational materials at QueerCME. Also, pricing increases after June!
