What kind of advocacy groups are you asking for? Or what kinds NOT?
It's up to you to filter them, but a couple of which I'm a member might be classed in the "environmentalist" or "sagebrush-hugger" category by some:
Friends of Nevada Wilderness and Oregon Natural Desert Association,
and I don't want to introduce controversy.
(I used to have links to these groups in my WTW signature, but I removed them for the same reason that I don't have any controversial bumper stickers on my rig: I don't want to go around with a chip on my shoulder -- or give that appearance.)
Now that I have all the free time, I do plan to spend a little of that time on these groups volunteer field events: habitat restoration and the like.

Those are good examples and I knew you would list ONDA . It's not like any of these groups are extreme or anything. I want to list groups of different types so that we have the kind of advocacy coverage that will appeal to all types. We'll probably skip Earth First though

IMO, and the opinions of many who have watched them over the years, they are manipulative organization, abusing the courts & headed by criminals - two of their top board members were recently sentenced to federal prison for fraud after conspiring plans to illegally reap over $12 million.
SUWA is rich guys doing a little rural cleansing to make the desert safe for rich guys.

DD, I would strongly encourage taking a looooong look at SUWA's mission statement, board members, track record and legal tactics before endorsing them on this forum...

I'm just creating a directory. Whether people want to support the organizations in the directory is their own choice.

IMHO: These are the kind of emotionally-charged, opinionated posts that will prove to be counter-productive and are certainly divisive.DD, I would strongly encourage taking a looooong look at SUWA's ...blah, blah...
Maybe that's why there's a need for a specific "Political Opinion (aka "Rant")" subforum.
