Why Advocate?
“All disadvantaged persons need advocacy, privileged people get it without looking.”
– Wolf Wolfensberger

Why Advocate?
The time is now!
You are the most passionate, knowledgeable expert on the issue that matters most to you!
The more people that speak up, the more attention, and resources your cause has the potential to receive.
You can’t expect other to be committed to something you are committed to.
You can make a difference…WE can make a difference.
Laws can be changed or improved.
Policy makers need your expertise
You have a story to tell.
If you’re not at the table, you’re on the table!

“Young leader of Curtis Bay incinerator fight wins international award”
Today a student activist, who played an instrumental role in stopping a trash-burning power plant in South Baltimore, is being honored with a prestigious award in San Francisco
– Baltimore Brew, April 18, 2016
The governor of Maryland, the mayor of Baltimore, the United Steelworkers of America and even some members of her own South Baltimore community of Curtis Bay were welcoming the project being planned less than a mile from her school.
State environmental officials had signed off on a permit letting the plant burn each year 1.4 million tons of tires, plastic and construction waste and release tons of fine particulates, mercury, heavy metals and other toxins.
“Everything was stacked against us,” Watford said.Four years later, after concerted pressure from opponents including Watford and fellow members of Free Your Voice, a student-led committee of United Workers, the tide had turned. Last month, the state declared that Energy Answers’ permit to build the 160-megawatt trash-to-energy plant had expired.Destiny Watford
