Further details: The Advocacy Project was created in the summer of 1998 by a group of individuals with a commitment to human rights and an interest in information technology. We wanted to make this technology more accessible to advocates who are campaigning for social justice, particularly those at the community level. We selected the campaign to create an international criminal court as a first test case. Since then, the Advocacy Project has evolved into an organization with a solid track record and a willingness to take on challenging assignments. At the same time, the Project tries to avoid the kind of bureaucracy that weakens and diverts so many NGOs. We are a "virtual organization." Only one of the core jobs is full-time (a writer). We rely on newcomers to help us fulfill assignments.
