Advocacy and the Issues Involved with Getting It????
May 6, 2009
I still am baffled with the excuses that come from the organizations that are running campaigns, soliciting for donations, and support for various causes, but if you ask for advocacy, you are denied. The rationale that comes from various people are the same; "I'm sorry but we can't take on every case". This is nonsense in that if your situation falls under that particular cause, then why can't they just add your name to the list? I made another call to AI today after clicking once again on the stop the violence campaign and receiving another e-mail for me to support their cause. Isn't their cause supposed to include my Cause? If not, then WTH is the problem? How do you pick and choose?
The worst part is that I have never asked for financial help, just advocacy! Just to be able to have some backing from an organization that cares. Someone that cares!
I'm tired of hearing alledged....I'm tired of hearing you have to get over it....and most of all I'm tired of hearing we can't take on every case...
My answer is: then stop asking me to take on every cause!!!!
