By taking a position in the forefront of advocating, we can become one of the "go to" organizations for women. The obvious and easy path is to advocate for survivors of domestic violence and against their abusers because it is a Zonta International goal and we have several current members whose lives are dedicated to that goal. We can and should also advocate for women's health issues, drug issues, homelessness and housing issues, literacy, and education, etc. The possibilities are only limited by the imagination and energy of our members!
