Advocacy Day
Advocacy is the public support for, or recommendation of, a particular cause or policy. It is an opportunity to meet with policy makers on key substance use issues facing communities and speak on the importance of prevention. Each year coalitions and their youth advocates as well as community partners join for a day at the Capitol to speak up about the importance of prevention.

Every year, CCA teams up with the Drug Free America Foundation for the Advocacy Day T-Shirt Design Contest! This is a chance for all students across the state of Florida to show off their creativity by designing a t-shirt that represents prevention. To show unity across communities, everyone rocks RED at Advocacy Day—and the winning design gets featured on the official red shirts worn by youth and partners all across the event!
