Freedom Advocacy Network
A human-rights activist platform spotlighting global injustices and mobilizing for change since 2023.
Freedom Advocacy Network is a human-rights and activist platform dedicated to spotlighting global injustices, conflict zones, and genocides. In addition to publishing articles, reports, videos, and analysis aimed at informing and mobilizing the public, the platform also hosts a biweekly meeting series running since November 2023 that features inspiring change-makers from around the world. Its content spans commentary on wars, proxy conflicts, and broader social-justice issues, along with calls to boycott companies or investments linked to human-rights abuses.
Freedom Advocacy Network members have been running a number of direct and indirect campaigns that you likely have already seen such as #facts4palestine, #ceasefirenow, #divestfromwarstocks, #eisenhower, #1billionPalestinianCitizens, ByStandersNoMore.com, #nextUpgradeNoIphone, HaqNow.com and others.
Out of our membership of 300+ individuals, we get an average attendance of ~10-30 people per week. Each week, either we have guest speakers, or we have members present campaign ideas to execute. No commitment is required. You are welcome to join each meeting at your discretion. We usually send out the agenda 5-10 days in advance.
