Record and post a 3- to 5-minute Kaltura video in which you communicate the needs of vulnerable populations to policymakers who may not share your views about the need for services. Include:
- Hook: Introduce yourself using professional disclosure. How do any personal facts about you or your audience relate to the policy and impact? This can help grab your audience’s attention.
- Describe the Problem: Present the problem and issues with the current policy that attempts to address the problem. Explain the impact on specific populations. You might even recount a specific story of someone adversely impacted by the problem, and explain how the policy as it exists does not help them.

Then, in writing, address the following:
- Which strategies did you use to communicate the problem and needs of the population to your audience?
- Why did you select the specific strategies over others? Was your selection informed by the details of your audience? Explain.
