Advocacy goes beyond words from "summary" of I'm Still Here by Austin Channing Brown
Advocacy is not just about speaking up or posting on social media. It is about taking tangible actions that bring about real change. It requires more than just words. It requires a commitment to actively dismantling systems of oppression and working towards a more just and equitable society. When we say we are advocates, we are making a promise to stand up for what is right, even when it is difficult. It means using our voices, resources, and platforms to uplift marginalized communities and challenge the status quo. Advocacy is not passive; it is an active and ongoing effort to create a world where everyone is treated with dignity and respect. Advocacy goes beyond performative gestures or empty promises. It requires us to educate ourselves, listen to those directly impacted by injustice, and take meaningful action to address systemic issues. It is about being willing to do the hard work of confronting our own biases and privilege, and using our privilege to advocate for those who are marginalized. True advocacy is rooted in empathy and a deep understanding of the experiences of others. It is about standing in solidarity with those who are most vulnerable and amplifying their voices. It requires us to examine our own beliefs and behaviors, and to be willing to challenge the status quo in order to create a more just and equitable society. Advocacy is about more than just raising awareness; it is about actively working towards change. It requires us to be willing to put in the time and effort to create lasting impact. It is about being a true ally and accomplice in the fight for justice. Advocacy requires action, not just words.
