# What is Our Ask?

## **Formal Endorsement**

Our goal is to get endorsement commitments from a variety of individuals, organizations, and businesses in the local community. A formal endorsement means that they are okay with us telling people that they publicly support our campaign. This may include featuring their name and logo in our campaign marketing materials or on our website. &#x20;

## **Other Ways They Can Support**

If you feel comfortable making additional asks to those who eagerly support us, there are many other ways that endorsers can help. If someone agrees to one of the following, put them in touch with your Campaign Lead.

### Campaign Marketing&#x20;

* Mentioning us in their newsletter
* Sending an email to their subscribers on our behalf
* Putting up signs in their business
* Backlinking us on their website

### Event Partnership

* Co-hosting an event with us
* Giving out PAF marketing materials at their events
* Offering coupons, discounts, free food or goods, raffle prizes, etc.&#x20;
* Allowing us to speak at one of their events
* Speaking to our community at a PAF event

### Shared Media

* Partnering with us on a social media post
* Co-writing an op-ed with us
* Sharing our messaging with their base&#x20;
* Inviting us to participate in their hosted media (podcast, blog, etc.)
* Making an introduction to other individuals or groups who might support us

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://handbook.proanimal.org/for-organizers/campaign-guides/how-to-secure-local-endorsements/what-is-our-ask.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
