The Advocacy Project supports partners who work for social justice and human rights at the community level. AP does this by:

Highlighting human rights abuses and concerns on behalf of partners (http://advocacynet.org/resource/14)

Sending interns to work with partners in the popular "Fellows For Peace" program (http://advocacynet.org/page/fellows)

Training partners on their information needs(http://advocacynet.org/page/Training)

Carrying out advocacy and outreach campaigns to raise awareness for partners

AP helps human rights organizations produce, use and disseminate their information effectively.

Srebrenica Memorial Quilt:
AP and the women of BOSFAM, the Bosnian women's group, launched the Srebrenica Memorial Quilt, in commemoration of the more than 8,000 men and boys that were killed in the 1995 Srebrenica massacre. The quilt contains 20 panels, all hand woven by BOSFAM weavers who lost relatives in the massacre. Each panel commemorates a victim. You can help by commissioning a panel in the quilt or signing the petition to arrest the alleged perpetrators of the Srebrenica massacre.
Please visit http://advocacynet.org/page/quilt for more information.

Please visit the AP website for more information about the rest of our campaigns.

AP is a Catalogue for Philanthropy charity.

In 2005, AP was selected by the Catalogue as one of Greater Washington's best small charities. Charities were selected by a group of 50 professional grantmakers and leaders at thirty foundations and nonprofit organizations. All Catalogue for Philanthropy charities are evaluated for distinction, merit, cost-effectiveness, and accomplishment (www.catalogueforphilanthropy.org)

In 2006, AP was chosen to be a Clinton Global Initiatives (CGI) member. Participation in the CGI is "by invitation only, limited to a select and diverse group of heads of state, CEOs, media voices, philanthropists and foundation heads, religious leaders, original thinkers and those who run highly effective non-profit organizations. When choosing individuals for membership, the Initiative attempts to create a composition that matches people who have resources with those who have the most innovative ideas" (www.clintonglobalinitiative.org)
