Co-Founder & Advocacy Advisor
For me being an advocate is definitely an active identity. I think it’s a role that’s always apart of you and a lens through which your view the world. But also advocacy isn’t set in stone like there’s only one approach or perspective it’s a fluid changing path. And that’s another reason I’m so grateful for UrbEd where we can be in advocacy in community and continue to push each other and grow.
Director of Communications and Partnerships
Effective advocacy is checking your privilege and making room for the unheard to be heard.
Visual Media Manager
Advocacy is uplifting others' voices, and learning when to take a step back. It is understanding that everybody has a unique experience and constantly reevaluating ourselves and our organizations to ensure that everybody has a seat at the table.
Campaign & Advocacy Manager
To be an advocate is to have passion and determination for things that matter.
Director of Program Development
Advocacy is at the heart of agency, it’s devoting your time to understanding the issues most important, and adding your contribution to the solutions. To advocate is to understand that we all need each other, and that the cause is worth the lifelong commitment of doing more than what’s expected of you.
Former Co-Executive Director
It is the most integral part of living, of being a community member, a student, it is to see a need for change in your community and become that change. To bring people together, develop support networks, and to never stop fighting... It is making sure every voice is heard.
