The Ecumenical Advocacy Alliance (EAA) describes itself as representing ” tens of millions of Christians around the world who share the conviction that advocacy against unjust structures, practices and attitudes should not be a task we engage in when it is convenient, but must be a fundamental requirement of living out our faith. The Ecumenical Advocacy Alliance includes large international organizations such as the Caritas Internationalis, World YWCA and Lutheran World Federation, as well as large and small national organizations such as Madras Christian Council of Social Services (India), Finnish Evangelical Lutheran Mission, Tearfund (United Kingdom), Presbyterian World Service and Development (Canada).”
As such, the EAA is “an international network of churches and church-related organizations committed to campaigning together on common concerns. Current campaigns focus on HIV and AIDS and Food. Our advocacy includes raising awareness and building a movement for justice within the churches as well as mobilizing people of faith to lobby local and national governments, businesses, and multi-lateral organizations. We partner with many organizations who share common goals on these critical issues, believing that the more we work together, the stronger our voice is for justice.”
