In a sense, to advocate is to listen, understand, believe, participate, share & celebrate stories - stories about peoples, cultures, place, and time in place; helping those stories ring out & into in the hearts, minds & spirits of those who hear or see them, and together promoting what we know to be essential.  You and I are working toward deep, rich, connected ways that make our cities matter ...
