About Advocacy Without Borders
Empowering Voices;
Embracing Differences
Our History
From Grassroots to Global Impact
Advocacy Without Borders is a grassroots 501c3 non-profit organization that promotes everyday advocacy via meaningful community leadership and engagement, collaborative partnerships, social justice, and education. Our mission is a simple yet important one: To encourage ALL people to make a difference, regardless of their differences. We seek to amplify perspectives of communities such as individuals from marginalized racial and gender groups, youth, survivors, people with disabilities, and historically minoritized and/or underrepresented identities. Our work is driven by the belief that ALL voices matter, and that everyone deserves an opportunity to strive for growth and change.
Our Vision
A World Where All Voices Matter
Advocacy Without Borders envisions a world where everyone has the opportunity to strive for growth and change, regardless of their background or circumstances. We are dedicated to meaningful community engagement, social justice, education, and collaboration. Our vision is rooted in principles of intersectionality, disability justice, neurodiversity, and radical inclusion, seeking to amplify the perspectives of marginalized communities and foster a world where all perspectives are valued.
Our Team
The People Behind Our Mission
