This episode of Before, Behind and Between talks about the use of petitions to highlight some of the differences among advocacy, government relations and lobbying. Of course, the book set - "Advocacy Explained" and "Advocacy - The Companion Handbook" - provide a more fulsome understanding of these terms. But this episode explores why advocacy isn't always about government, and how the use of petitions can sometimes have more impact in the non-governmental realms than in the legislative arenas.
