Open Evangelist Badge

• Identify an opportunity to advocate for open policy locally. This could be with a school board member, an administrator at your university, your state legislator, congressman, or anyone else in a position to make relevant policy.  
• Construct an argument by which you could persuade your policy maker to adopt an open policy. Write a blog post describing your argument in detail so we can give you feedback on it.
• Arrange to have a conversation with your policy maker, and do your best to persuade them to adopt an open policy.
• Write a blog post describing your conversation and the reactions, responses, counterarguments, and concerns of the policy maker expressed and announce your belief that you have completed the badge.
