Amelia N. Aldred writes: “Prior to 2023, each chapter onboarded incoming chapter leaders individually, supplemented by ALA advocacy training focused on topics, not roles. But in response to rising attacks on libraries—including censorship of library materials, defunding efforts, and disinformation campaigns about the profession—ALA shifted its approach and began a new pilot program to provide intensive training to all chapter leaders. The Chapter Advocacy Workshop is an intensive program that equips incoming leaders with critical advocacy skills such as building relationships with legislators, navigating media interviews on hot-button issues, and creating public advocacy campaigns for library support.”
