At Advocates For The Persecuted, we have been working for the past several weeks, laying the groundwork for a major change in our web-based advocacy strategy.

We will be uploading the new website today, after much work, both in the website’s design and strategy. Future articles will be posted on our blog. These articles will focus on analysis and contexual explanations of the various human rights and religious freedom issues in the Middle East.

There are several news organizations who, through dedicated news reporters, are providing those interested in advocacy numerous reports from Middle Eastern nations. We will focus, as an organization, in helping North Americans better understand the context in which these human rights cases rest. This will increase education and awareness that we hope will lead to greater overall advocacy efforts in this region of the world.

We also want to adapt to emerging web technologies that give more immediacy and real-time involvement in human rights cases. For those who want to help us directly advocate in individual cases and in human rights issues, we ask that you follow us on Twitter. This way you will be alerted to the latest news updates.

Stay tuned for what we hope will be more effective advocacy.
