Recent events involving police violence, riots, and COVID-19 have forced nonprofit leaders to reevaluate their mission, programs, and operational structures, so this is the perfect time to refamiliarize yourself with the concept of advocacy. \\u201cAdvocacy\\u201d is one of those words which has a bunch of different meanings, especially depending on the person you ask.
