The worst advocate work is having to advocate for yourself. No one wants to fucking listen.
This is why it is vital fro men to be leading the fight on abuse.
White people should be leading the fight for the rights of PoC.
Cis/straight people should be on the front lines advocating for the LGBTQ community.
You have to fight for your neighbor.
@GinnyMcQueen Underappreciated fight: youth rights. Few adults advocate even though they've all been there. Kids don't even have legal rights to advocate for themselves most of the time, yet are forced to advocate for themselves in the most dire situations (e.g. trying to get disability services, arguing over grades which determine college/career).
Why no climate change policy? Why don't we fix criminal justice? Why no Social Security/Medicare reform? Because youth lack rights+power.
@jbbdude I was in the CASA program (court advocates for children in the system) and I very much agree.
@jbbdude That was confusing. I mean I was a volunteer advocate who worked with kids in the system.
