I've been reading about men's issues. And one of the frustrating truths is that certain lobbies have been very influential in preventing progress for men and boys. I'm curious if there are any organizations working to counter theses lobbies and political organizations? Also, I'm curious in what ways I can volunteer my time and energies. I myself have been subject to personal and systemic discrimination, leading to a period of homelessness, while disabled, chronically ill and brain-injured. Now on the mend, health improving and stable I want to learn how I can become active in participatory male advocacy. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
