Advocacy Materials

Voting is a great tool to advocate for your field and ensure its needs are reflected in policy decisions.

ASA, CSSA, and SSSA recognize the importance of informed civic engagement to help ensure that the needs of our fields are reflected in policy decisions. If you're attending CANVAS, which extends through Election Day this year, make your plan to vote early.

• Confirm your voter registration status.
• Review your state’s rules for absentee voting and early voting.
• Review key dates and deadlines for absentee and early voting.

Research funding at federal agencies is an important part of ASA, CSSA, and SSSA's advocacy agenda. Use the links below to download copies of our recent funding requests and support letters. Bring a copy of these materials to Congressional meetings or reference them in correspondence about research funding.
