THEY SEE THE LIGHT, OTHERS
We need both light and heat to create the world we aim to see. The hand-in-hand approach of education and advocacy as a key strategy in CEJI’s mission should not be underestimated. Education tends to illuminate minds and inspire action. Advocacy supports legislation and policies that create the pressure of accountability and regulations.
