I’ve read quite a few readers’ reviews of my book on Amazon, saying, ‘Ah, he criticises the free market, he advocates central planning.’ I don’t do that for a minute! But this is our black and white, dichotomous way of thinking – which has really been harmful.
The only thing I advocate for is for equality for female athletes because we train just as hard, and we’re always having a lot of head-to-head clashes, always competing against each other.
My mother has been an advocate for me as far as modeling goes.
Though I’m vegan and advocate that others eat a plant-based diet, I know that many people aren’t quite ready to take that step in whole.

Your agent should be invested in the success of your book past the contract stage. After all, if it sells well, she’s going to be getting 15 percent of every dime you make. She can be your best advocate in fighting for your book – not just with editing and the cover, but with marketing and sales as well.
I’m proud to be among a bipartisan group of state attorneys general who consistently advocate against government infringement of Americans’ Second Amendment rights.
I always think, medically… you really have to be your advocate. You have to be able to back up everything that you’re feeling with some information and protect yourself through the world of hospitals and doctors’ offices, so the more information the better.
I have long been an advocate for peace and human rights in Canada and around the globe.
John Kerry doesn’t think in terms of black-and-white. He’s all gray, and he looks at all sides of the issues. That makes people think he likes to be devil’s advocate. Whatever you say, he’ll challenge you on.
I am a fierce advocate for the economic empowerment of all women. In the Congress, I am one of the leaders of an initiative called ‘When Women Succeed, America Succeeds.’ It is an economic agenda for women aimed at making sure women have equal pay for equal work, paid sick leave, and affordable child care.

HIV/AIDS is a very big problem in my country South Africa, so I hope to stand as an advocate for that.
I’m a big advocate of drones.
I actually hope people don’t react to ‘Impossible’ in a way where they think it’s terribly retro. The plot needed to do what it needed to do. But I’m a little surprised to find myself looking a little bit like an advocate of teen marriage. It takes some exceptional circumstances for that to be a reasonable idea.
I am a big advocate for having an open discussion about team norms and preferences. At The Muse, some of us like to start working at 7:30 A.M. Others focus best from 10 P.M. to 2 A.M. Create a culture where it’s acceptable not to be working when someone else is working.
I will always be an advocate in terms of wars of necessity. I am just much more cautious on wars of choice.
There’s no doubt about it: Hillary is the best person to be our 45th president. Hillary has always been a tireless advocate for working families – she’s never ceased to make sure everybody has a fair shot at achieving the American Dream.
Trial. A formal inquiry designed to prove and put upon record the blameless characters of judges, advocates and jurors.

The people of our state will no longer tolerate advocates of treason.
I’ve become very fond of the law. I’ve always been an advocate for justice, which occasionally the law brings to light.
I am a huge advocate for anti-bullying in our youth. What I have seen with the rise of social media is that children are not facing bullying on a playground, they are facing it on their cell phones.
For me, having a baby was never going to be timed randomly. I wanted to have mine while I was on ‘Scandal.’ Kerry Washington is one of my best friends, and I’ve gotten to watch her go through motherhood. I also have the greatest female boss in Shonda Rhimes, who is a mother of three and a huge advocate for women.
Let me be clear: I am not an advocate of censorship.
We strongly believe that individual advocates play an important role in developing a civil society.
I’m an advocate of all mediums – it’s a larger canvas for us as artists – but we have to keep in mind that celluloid film is what created this wonderful art form, and we have to keep it alive.
JAG is an acronym for the Judge Advocate General, which is the judicial system of the military.
I think it’s absolutely undeniable that nobody really advocates for complete total speech without any consequence or absolute freedom of expression. There’s a line that most of us agree on somewhere.
Look at the decisions I’ve made in my life personally. To paint the picture intentionally that I don’t believe in, that I’m not a supporter of, that I’m not an advocate of early childhood education is a mistruth. It’s an absolute and outright lie, and to continue to perpetuate it is irresponsible.
Censorship is un-American, and it’s egregious that any journalist would advocate for others to be banned for political speech.
The people of Central Virginia expect me to work with all Members of the House – regardless of party affiliation – to advocate for policies that will expand opportunity for their businesses and families, and I’m committed to following through on that promise.
I don’t think I could advocate for increasing NASA’s budget by a factor of two or ten, because I want us to have good roads in our country. I want us to have good education in our country. And NASA’s budget is part of a discretionary budget, and we can’t make that bigger without taking away other things.
The opposition has moved from a blaming the victim to blaming the victim’s advocate’s statistics. Irrespective of what the numbers are, it’s far too many.
I fought for MPs to have the right to vote on article 50 not because I was against Brexit, but because I was, and remain passionately, an advocate of parliamentary sovereignty.

I was conducted in the evening to a tavern where several of the weavers who advocate the principles of the People’s Charter were in the habit of assembling.
I will always be an advocate for the Space Force.
I’m an advocate for being full-blown vegan. That’s my ideal way that I would love people to live, but the key to it is eating as little processed foods and a more whole foods-type diet as possible.
Use state-of-the-heart technology online and offline to turn listeners into viral advocates and customers into raving fans.
A lot of my role is advocacy, and as a scientist, you’re an advocate, too, because you are coming up with a theory and having to convince your fellow scientists that you’re right.
Things are still in early stages, but one can imagine that as we build up and systematize our theories of these associations, and try to boil them down to their core, the result might point us toward the sort of fundamental principles I advocate.

Without an advocate for the poor, without a new state of mind in America, the country lies on the brink of anarchy.
I founded ‘Point Hope’ so that I could accomplish some things I wanted to do for children who had no one to advocate for them, children who had no voice. Since I have been blessed with a voice on the radio each night, I thought I would use my celebrity position and my financial resources to help these kids.
PM Narendra Modi himself is a strong advocate of embracing technology in various aspects of governance.
I grew up always thinking that fighting for justice was our obligation, whether that’s giving your voice to something, serving as a verbal advocate for someone, or physically being in spaces or occupying space to make and create change.
I think that there are a lot of beautiful girls out there in our industry who are really taking a stand and being advocates for happiness and size diversity, and so the consumers are also very vocal.
