What is advocacy?

ADVOCACY is at the core of what Women’s Earth Alliance does – but what exactly does that mean?

 

To us, advocacy is storytelling with a purpose. It is solidarity with those who face injustice, and using our collective power to uplift and amplify their voices.

 

How does WEA practice advocacy?
Providing technical legal assisting to Indigenous women in the Americas as they work to preserve their traditional homelands and promote sustainable energy development; representing a tribe facing inundation of its sacred sites from a proposed dam; supporting Indigenous groups to oppose a proposed new oil pipeline and to engage with federal energy legislation.
