A Voice For the Voiceless

MISSION

The Advocacy Project seeks to help community-based advocates produce, disseminate and use information, and so become more effective advocates for human rights and social justice

Outreach Partners (US)

Our efforts to promote the message of our community-based partners beyond their own countries has led us to seek out community partners, particularly in the United States. We encourage these groups to engage with our fellows, and work with fellows to organize events on behalf of their hosts once they return.

Eventually, we hope that this will help to build yet another type of partnership – between community activists in countries of conflict and the United States. Our hope is that Americans find many levels on which to engage with and learn from those who are struggling abroad.

The following community organizations have worked with AP, or AP fellows, to promote the work of partners:

• The Zonta Club of Washington (women's service organization)
• Nepali-American Society for Oppressed Community (NASO)
• Africans In America, Inc. (Nigerian diaspora)
• The Cambridge Multicultural Arts Center
• The Center for Balkan Development
• The LOFT Foundation
