Advocacy & Policy 101 Series - The Hot Tea on Fly Ins: Encountering Your Members of Congress with Tyler Edwards

Tyler Edwards is a Grassroots Advocacy Coordinator at the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition (NSAC), an alliance of family farm, food, conservation, rural, and urban organizations that take common positions on policy issues (which WFAN is a member of). As part of the coalition's DC-based team, she crafts strategy, tools, and messaging that coalition members use to mobilize their grassroots base at key moments to ensure that influential pieces of legislation, like the Farm Bill, protect small, sustainable, BIPOC, and underserved farmers. Drawing on her past in theater and science communication, Tyler integrates a sense of creativity and a deep love for storytelling into her work.
