title: We are all advocates.
abstract: As pediatric nurses, we have many opportunities to advocate for children and often have more resources and more knowledge about children and advocacy than we realize. It is what we do. There are many issues and many ways to advocate. I encourage you to use the ideas presented here and the listed resources to enhance your current advocacy efforts. Become politically active. Connect to state and local groups by either membership, letter writing, or the Internet.
