advocate

An advocate is someone who supports or promotes a cause, idea, or belief. They work to bring attention to issues, influence public opinion, and work towards positive change. Advocates often represent and speak on behalf of individuals or groups that may not have a voice or may face disadvantages. They may lobby for policy changes, raise awareness through campaigns, provide resources and support, or directly engage with policymakers and stakeholders. Advocates can be found in various fields such as human rights, social justice, environmental activism, or healthcare.
