This article aims to highlight the results of a study on the strategies of non-profitable organizations in the field of social advocacy in Quebec. First, the analytical framework into three strategies, emancipatory, cooperation-persuasion and confrontation, will be presented. The importance of the practices and the discourses of the organizations on each of the strategies will be presented in order to have an actual vision of the activities of the community organizations in social advocacy. Thereafter, links will be made between the characteristics of the organizations and their choice of strategy in order to determine whether some characteristics influence the use of one strategy rather than another.
