Update: how proclamations are influencing the grassroots movement for dark & quiet skies

Abstract Beginning in 2022, light pollution and grassroots advocacy expert Amy C. Oliver FRAS began partnering with DarkSky International (formerly International Dark-Sky Association) to increase traditional and social media coverage of International Dark-Sky Week through the strategic use of proclamations and other ceremonial documents and recognitions throughout their global advocate network. While the year-over-year growth of the proclamations programme and the resultant media attention provide mathematical performance indicators of success, intangible successes have also become evident through the increased confidence of DarkSky advocates and their willingness to engage in both grassroots and policy conversations regarding dark and quiet skies. Previously reported results from ASP2022, Solar Eclipses to Space Telescopes: Communicating Science to Students and the Public, and its forthcoming Proceedings are updated herein, along with additional and new learnings previously unreported.
