Advocacy
Why fix what’s not broken? If you can’t see anything broken, then you’re benefiting from the current systems in place. Of course you don’t see the need for advocacy.
That is a privilege.
Because plenty of us experience discrimination in areas you may not see or understand. To us, it’s clear that systems are broken.
