Fandom Forward

Fandom Forward, named The Harry Potter Alliance until 2021, was a nonprofit organization that was initially run by Harry Potter fans but subsequently expanded to include members of various fandoms. It was founded in 2005 to draw attention to human rights violations in Sudan. Since then, the organization's campaigns have focused on topics such as literacy, United States immigration reform, economic justice, LGBT rights, sexism, labor rights, mental health, body image, and climate change. They have received recognition from many popular figures in the Harry Potter community and have been the subject of multiple academic studies on fan activism and civic engagement among youth.
