Autistic Self Advocacy Network 

An autism organization that promotes respect and acceptance toward autistic individuals. In contrast to many other autism organizations, the Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN) motivates autistic people to freely express themselves in their own unique ways instead of forcing them to conform with the rest of society. This is the website to go to if you want to support the autistic community in ways that are actually meaningful.

I go to the Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN) to help out the autistic community. They actually care about autistic people and view autism as a unique condition instead of a disease.

Student Advocacy Network

The purpose of Student Advocacy Network is to assist in solving the Six Fundamental Needs of a College Student in pursuit of higher education, and to assist the college population contribute to the needs of society and their community.

Many student leaders, when they are elected, are very motivated to do things to help their students. Quite often though, they do not know what the real needs of their students really are, let alone how to solve those needs.

There are many organizations out there that try to unite student advocacy groups at some demographic or educational level (university or community college level for example). This only results in higher education advocacy groups becoming fragmented and competitive. Most of the fundamental needs of these two constituencies are really the same issues.

There is currently no organization out there that will give student leaders and advocacy groups the information they need to be successful and united on all fronts (National, State, Local, and Campus levels).

Student Advocacy Network (SAN)
was created to do just that!!!

Alien Activism and Advocacy

The practice of advocating for the dignity, rights, ethical consideration, and respectful treatment of beings, communities, or forms of life perceived as unfamiliar, misunderstood, marginalized, or "other." Alien Advocacy and Activism encourages curiosity over fear, relationship over domination, and stewardship over exploitation.

Alien Advocacy and Activism is rooted in the belief that societies are strengthened when they expand empathy beyond familiar identities and assumptions. It challenges xenophobia, dehumanization, and systems that justify exclusion or exploitation based on perceived difference.

Within philosophy, speculative ethics, and creative worldbuilding, Alien Advocacy explores how humanity might responsibly relate to forms of intelligence, consciousness, or life that differ from our own. It asks not only how we treat one another but how we might approach any unknown with humility, consent, reciprocity, and ethical care.

In social justice contexts, the term also serves as a metaphor for standing alongside those who have been treated as outsiders because of disability, neurodivergence, migration, culture, identity, belief, or other forms of difference. It invites communities to replace fear of the unfamiliar with dialogue, mutual learning, and shared responsibility.

Alien Activism and Advocacy is needed to continue to support oppressive forces that would otherwise exploit, mistreat or violate multidimensional and othered being for navigating their own expansion beyond conventional frameworks. Meet the unknown with courage. Protect dignity. Build relationship before judgment.
