Advocacy
Coptic Solidarity is at the forefront of advocacy work on behalf of Copts as well other minorities in the region. We advocate through:
- Grassroots campaigns, quiet diplomacy, and education of Congress and government officials
- An annual conference in Washington, D.C. featuring legislators from US and abroad and recognized experts from an interdisciplinary perspective on supporting Copts and religious minorities.
- Alliances are critical to our advocacy work and we regularly partner with the Middle East Christian Committee (MECHRIC) and other informal alliances.
