Advocacy is the act or process of supporting a cause or proposal.
Advocacy includes various strategies that influence decision-making at local, national, and international levels. It is organized around the resolution of a problem. Advocacy can include using multimedia to form public opinion, educating decision-makers on the issues, organizing public events, researching issues, or simply raising awareness of a particular cause. Advocacy encompasses the education and mobilization of citizens, so they can become involved in developing and promoting policies they care about.

Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship
Let us look to the example of the Good Samaritan. Jesus’ parable summons us to rediscover our vocation as citizens of our respective nations and of the entire world, builders of a new social bond. This summons is ever new, yet it is grounded in a fundamental law of our being: we are called to direct society to the pursuit of the common good and, with this purpose in mind, to persevere in consolidating its political and social order, its fabric of relations, its human goals. (Pope Francis, Fratelli Tutti, no. 66)

Who in the Church Should Participate in Political Life?
As the Catechism of the Catholic Church reminds us, “It is necessary that all participate, each according to
his position and role, in promoting the common good. This obligation is inherent in the dignity of the human person. . . . As far as possible citizens should take an active part in public life” (nos. 1913-1915). (Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship, no.13)
