Be an Effective Advocate for Solutions to Poverty in Chicago

Save to Favorites

RESULTS is a movement of passionate, committed, everyday people. Together, we use our voices to influence political decisions that will bring an end to poverty.

At RESULTS, we know we can make a difference beyond voting in elections. As an advocate, you can have a say in the policies that impact millions of people experiencing poverty in your own community and around the world.

In 2021, during a pandemic and economic crisis, RESULTS advocates helped cut U.S. child poverty in half. Each year, RESULTS advocates secure billions of dollars for global health and education efforts. We are working for a world where everyone has health, education, and opportunity for a bright future in the U.S. and beyond.

What You’ll Do as an Advocate

With 4-6 hours per month as a RESULTS volunteer advocate, you will:

• Partner with local volunteers in your community to drive positive change together. This includes contacting members of Congress and their staff, publishing media, and organizing locally.
• Attend monthly webinars featuring policy updates, advocacy skills and tools, and anti-oppression.
• Become a more effective advocate through self-paced advocacy skills training and action taking.
• Connect with a community of advocates in your state and across the U.S.

Take Action to Create a Better Future

As we face uncertainty about what will come next in our country, this is when our advocacy matters the most. You can ensure our leaders understand your community's needs. Over the next year, your action as an advocate will make a difference for communities experiencing poverty.

US Poverty Advocates will:

• Ensure people have access to healthy food through nutrition programs
• Call for bold solutions to the affordable housing crisis.
• Help put money back in people’s pockets by making our tax code work for people experiencing poverty.

Global Poverty Advocates will:

• Urge the U.S. to lead in the fight against AIDS, TB, and malaria. Call for funding to strengthen health systems worldwide.
• Ensure caregivers can access lifesaving healthcare and nutrition for their kids.
• Secure access to vaccines for millions of children so that no child is dying from something that is preventable and treatable.

Actions we take today will shape the future for generations to come. Be part of our unstoppable community of change. Sign up for your 1-hour New Advocate Orientation at www.results.org/volunteer.
