Writing letters to and calling people in authority positions is one part of advocating for the [[Non-binary rights|rights]] and dignity of nonbinary people. You may need to write a letter or make a call to advocate for those rights, be it how a school is not recognizing nonbinary genders or if housing is being denied to a nonbinary person. It could be from an issue directly impacting you, someone you know, or as part of a national campaign for nonbinary rights.
