Preparing for safe advocacy

To do advocacy work, we must feel safe and emotionally-regulated. In the Brave Movement, we consider ourselves all advocates. Specifically, we advocate for bold and ethical change with both governments and those in the private sector. Personal safety must be an individualized plan because what makes you feel safe won’t necessarily work for someone else.

Advocacy can happen in many ways but always involves action and public support for a cause. This can mean speaking up, arguing for, supporting, or defending a cause, and or advocating for other people. These actions can be big or small and can happen in-person or online.
