A2A Announces The A2A Stories Initiative and Fundraising Goal!

INTRODUCING THE A2A STORIES INITIATIVE!

The nonprofit Adversity 2 Advocacy Alliance is launching an exciting new venture to further its mission of promoting adversity-driven advocacy. 

To those of you who have not yet had a chance to join the campaign: Please consider doing so today. Every single dollar counts; and we know that, with your help, we can fully fund this groundbreaking initiative and expand our A2A storytelling to a worldwide audience in powerful new ways.https://www.crowdrise.com/o/en/campaign/a2a1

A2A Stories is a digital platform featuring personal accounts of remarkable individuals who have turned some form of adversity into some form of advocacy on behalf of others with similar adversities. 

The website offers a diverse mix of radio features, podcasts, livestreams, and blogs–each providing remarkable insights and inspiration. It is the beginning of an online community to promote a culture of helping ourselves by helping others.
