Advocacy in Paterson NJ

Advocacy is the public support for a cause or policy. Advocacy can take many forms like on the individual level, group level, or advocacy through an organization. Ways to maximize advocacy could include getting the word out through advertisements to the public, dialogue, and other means. Additionally, organizations can develop projects that enact change through campaigning. The U.S City I chose to focus my final paper on is Paterson, NJ. One non-profit organization found in Paterson is Paterson Alliance. This organization aims to "to advance the quality of life in the City of Paterson through the creation of community partnerships and collaborations." They work closely with other sectors especially the non profit community to improve the city for all taking into account the vast diversity. They are located in the heart of Paterson right on Main Street.
