There is now a new forum member badge: Advocate
This is awarded to forum members who support the ongoing process of sharing Epicurean philosophy with others through the creation of reference, study, or teaching materials such as documents, articles, YouTube videos, pamphlets, books, social media materials, external Epicurean philosophy websites, or events such as seminars or symposiums
Badges have been given out...if we have missed anyone, please let us know! 
This is the updated description for the "Advocate" badge:
In recognition of members who have created Epicurean philosophy reference, study, or teaching materials such as documents, articles, YouTube videos, pamphlets, books, social media materials, external Epicurean philosophy websites, or events such as seminars or symposiums. Regarding the badge graphic: DeWitt gives evidence in his book "Epicurus and His Philosophy" that the Epicureans were "pamphleteers", and this was important for the spread of Epicureanism. Now in our time we see how important it is to create methods and materials for sharing the philosophy. The leaping pig image captures the joy of being alive, and the leaping pig was a symbol used by ancient Epicureans.
Also, those who have received this now have brief descriptions of their contributions next to their names on the badge page. (If you would like the description changed or something added, send me a private message please, or if I missed anybody let me know).
