3.3.2 Advocacy

One slight variation on the previous examples of sharing resources would be advocacy practices. In these cases, resources in the community are used to pay for professionals to represent the constituency in place of the constituency representing itself. Many workplace unions use advocacy practices to support individual members, but examples in the community include crowd justice groups that organise resources to cover legal expenses, or advocacy planning groups that pool resources to pay for professional city planners to advocate on a particular community’s behalf.
