Advocate

What does it mean to advocate? An advocate finds her voice and uses it to make a difference. An advocate is an ambassador for a cause, rallies support on an important issue, educates the public with facts and data and make others aware of needs facing her community. An advocate is a voice for those who have been silenced.
