Charles “Chuck” Draper

After years in traditional advocacy roles, I became disheartened by the bias and gatekeeping I witnessed — especially when organizations refused to work together because of politics or pride.  I founded Advocacy Family Network to do things differently. 

We believe in advocacy without barriers, where survivors are supported with dignity, not filtered through red tape. Real change begins when we care enough to care about the people we serve — and that’s why I’m here.
