This program is focused on applied state legislature advocacy for psychologists in Arizona. It will examine some historical ways psychologists have contributed to the political process, as well as practical ways psychologists can practice advocacy. It will incorporate recommendations from existing literature, the APA, and the speakers’ experiences. We will discuss the tension between the perception of the practice of psychology as an individual or small group activity and the consideration of the responsibility to effect social change on a larger systems level. We will define intersectionality and examine how we might utilize the concept of intersectionality to focus on social justice and equality. We will review the model the legislative committee uses to determine which pieces of legislature the committee will focus on each legislative session, as well as key bills from the last legislative session. Our lobbying firm representative will provide an overview of different ways to be involved in the political process, and discuss best ways to build relationships with legislators. The program will be didactic.
