Students: How to Share Your Story for Political Purposes

Telling your story is a great way to make a difference — and because it’s your story, there’s no one better to tell it! Our stories are powerful political tools, and we can use them to make real change. Hearing a real person talk about a policy problem gives policymakers a name and face to remember. This is a toolkit and it was made by the Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN). It helps you brainstorm the most important parts of what you want to say, and make a plan to use your story to create policy change.

Do you know what a toolkit is? A toolkit is really just a collection of things like handouts or worksheets, definitions of important words, and other helpful resources.
