“Why advocate? Effective advocacy enables nonprofits to shape the public debate on important social issues and ensure that underserved communities have a voice in the policies that impact their lives. Advocacy is the number one way nonprofits can advance the issues they care about and help bring about systemic, lasting change for the people they serve.  We believe every nonprofit can and should use advocacy to amplify their work. Armed with the right tools and information, you will realize how advocacy can advance your cause and communities.” – Alliance for Justice
