Or any combination of advocacy.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Jennifer Levey : I don't believe you can advocate 'for' something; one merely 'advocates' it. And 'any combination of advocacy' ... What does that mean?//"advocating for" has 'only' 1.660.000 Ghits.

It sound good to me and Google agrees:Results 3,400,000 for Advocating for. As to my comment for Advocacy. I don't have too much information so I meant the used of the word that means: defense; advocate; support, endorsement, etc. Don't put me down.
neutral AllegroTrans : 3.4 m Ghits does not prove a translation to be correct, not even 10.4 m
