Advocacy and Community Action Track
The Advocacy and Community Action track is designed for fellows who are ready to turn bold ideas into tangible impact on the ground, in communities, and through campaigns that advance equity, justice, and systemic change.
Unlike our research-oriented tracks, this fellowship path is centered on organizing, advocacy, and public engagement. It’s about building power, not just studying it.
Fellows in this track address urgent social issues through:
-
grassroots organizing
-
direct advocacy
-
coalition-building
-
creative public campaigns
Current focus areas include education equity, youth empowerment, economic justice, and democratic participation. However, the scope remains intentionally flexible, designed to support evolving priorities and fellow-led initiatives.
Whether it’s organizing a town hall on school funding, leading a voter education drive, facilitating leadership workshops for young people, or advocating for gender equity in public policy, fellows learn by doing.
This fellowship supports those who are driven to:
-
amplify marginalized voices
-
promote policies that uphold human dignity and freedom
-
engage the public in democratic processes
-
stand at the intersection of advocacy and action
By combining community-centered organizing with the Peace Economy Project’s broader mission, fellows in this track are helping build a more participatory and just society, one campaign, one conversation, and one community at a time.
